CLA Response to Coronavirus
It is amazing how things have changed since the last issue of Lion Tales just three weeks ago. As always, we continue to trust the Lord for direction, as we also follow guidelines put in place by public health officials, the governor, state board of education, and local leaders. The school building will continue to be closed except for a few careful, monitored drop-off/pick-up arrangements. We will continue remote instruction through April 30 and update with any changes as they happen. More details are below. If you have questions, feel free to contact Mr. Horning
Thinking of 2020-2021!

From the Principal's Desk
A quite different approach to education has stretched all of us. But I am encouraged by many things that have happened over the past several weeks. One of the most enjoyable is a new-found excitement to “see” people. I’m one who gets energy from people and interaction. I’m energized by high fives, fist bumps, and smiles with a “good morning” attached. I’ve found myself thriving recently on a hug from one of my children, more family meals than we’ve experienced in a long time, and the anticipation of an online video meeting with a few students, a group of family members, other teachers, or our Bible study group. I believe that, through these difficult times, God reminds us to seek Him and to value interaction with others. I pray that each of us learns the lesson well!
Blessings,
Mr. Horning
