Welcome! Veterans invited for recognition at CLA Thursday, November 9
Please pass the word along to friends and family who are Veterans of all branches of the US Armed Forces. On Thursday, November 9, CLA will honor these friends in a brief ceremony in the school gymnasium. We ask that Veterans ARRIVE between 8:15-8:30 am and we will have a recognition ceremony at 8:45 am. We wish to say “thank you” in person to those who can attend. Light refreshments will als be served to our visitors after the recognition ceremony.
Grandparents’ Day will be held on Tuesday, November 21…Invite them!
It’s exciting to invite our grandparents to share some time with us at school. This will be on Tuesday, November 21. Please pass the word on and invite those special people! Grandparents should arrive that afternoon between 2-2:15, and we’ll gather in the gym, have some all-school time together, and then individual class activities will follow, until dismissal at the end of the school day (normal dismissal times of 3:20/3:30)
Need some CLA GEAR!?! THE CLA APPAREL STORE IS OPEN AGAIN until NOVEMBER 20!
Need some CLA spirit gear? The apparel store through JC Screenprinting is open again for the next several weeks. Orders must be made by November 20 8 am … and items should be ready the first week of December (Christmas presents, anyone?) All orders will be delivered to the school for pick-up, or you can pay to have them shipped directly to you (be sure to do this at time of order.)

From the Principal's Desk
Our staff had some discussion this week about details and plans for our Christmas Program held on December 14. I hope you have set aside this date on your calendar. It got me excited for the upcoming season, for sure! As always, we’ll have a program, with dinner as an option (you’ll see information coming soon about tickets and table hosting). But the greatest thing for me is remembering what we celebrate, through our gathering, our worship, the singing of carols, a message and some drama…. God sent His Son, Jesus, to the earth so that we might have new life in HIM! What a great gift. As we prepare for the upcoming holiday season, remember that we celebrate the Gift of God. Praise the Lord that we can do this together!
Blessings,
Mr. Horning
