Lions Football Club - a new venture in athletics available to CLA high school boys
You may have seen this information in a recent email or facebook post, but CLA is sponsoring a potential Football Club for high school boys that don’t have access to football (homeschool students and students at schools without football). An informational meeting is scheduled for Monday, February 13 at 4 pm in the CLA gym. Feel free to pass the word around!
A link to RSVP for the informational meeting is: https://forms.gle/icLC43oBLjGXJQheA
SMALENTINES! Due Friday, February 10
Last week, PTF sent home an order form for K-8 students to purchase Smencils (scented pencils) to be given out as a Valentine’s Day gift. These orders are due next Friday, February 10. Details are on the PINK form that went home last week.
First of the year Donations… and CAT / State Farm matching opportunities
Now is still a great time to support Christian Life Academy! You may have already seen our mailer from December, but this is just a reminder… If you or others you know are looking for a ministry to support, CLA would be grateful for your support. Tuition pays less than ⅔ of expenses, so we rely on donations. If you have questions, please check with Mr. Horning. Also, if you or others you know are Caterpillar or State Farm employees (or retirees), you may want to let them know that both companies have a program for donations to CLA being matched as a 501(c)3 non-profit! The CLA office may be able to help.
From the Principal's Desk
As we completed our January chapel series about the “new” things that God is asking us to do, we finished with the story of Esther. We remembered the Bible accounts of Esther being chosen as queen, and then having the challenge of going to the king to ask him to save her people (Esther 4 and 5). The words of Esther’s uncle Mordecai reminded Esther that she was in the position “for such a time as this.” I challenge you to consider… what is the “for such a time” situation that God has placed you here for? What great work can God accomplish through your willingness to follow Him? Amazing things can happen when God works through His people. Do you see Him working? Can you believe He’s got an amazing plan? I believe it!
Blessings,
Mr. Horning
