2022-2023 school year is coming soon…share with potential new CLA families!
As we look toward the future, we are excited about the upcoming school year, as so many of our families have registered to return! But we have ROOM FOR MORE! We would love to have more families join this great community… We continue to have registration open and would encourage those interested to contact the school. Questions, please ask! Please do encourage any friends who are thinking of joining… now is the time!
The week of May 2-6 is Teacher Appreciation week!
This is a great time to bless the teachers and thank them yet again for all the wonderful hard work they do to help our students grow academically, mentally, and spiritually. Our theme is Bloom based on 1 Corinthians 3:7-9. “So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.”
Below you will find a sign up genius of different ways we need your help. Feel free to sign up for multiple slots if you are able. If you would also like to spoil your teacher in other ways ( ask your students what they like, they probably know!) feel free to do that too ! We are looking forward to making this a really great week for our teachers and we appreciate your help.

Building Project update… Moving forward…
Foundations are being poured! Volunteer opportunities coming!
We have started building the new high school classroom building!! The general plan will be to complete the exterior of the building and as a “phase 1” to complete a portion of the interior that could be used by HS students in the 2022-23 school year! Construction will be going on over the summer… please pray for good timing, agreeable weather, and God’s hand in the project. You can help in the following ways:
Mr. Horning will continue organizing VOLUNTEER WORK CREWS. We had a couple helpers for the first foundation pour last Tuesday, and will be planning the second pour soon. Look for this information coming out via facebook and email… and sign up to help!
We will CONTINUE TO RAISE FUNDS as the building is built… Currently funding sits at just over $225,000 raised, and as bills come in for payment (and material costs rise), we will need continued support to get to a completed project! Now is a great time to commit to a donation or to tap the shoulder of a friend who might be able to help!
From the Principal's Desk
How exciting to join with CLA community at our groundbreaking on Friday, April 8, and then follow up with working with some of the CLA family on the jobsite last week. As we move forward to build our new building, please pray for safety, sound planning, good weather, and God’s provision. There are uncertainties, but the certainty of God’s hand in this project has been evident since the beginning, and we know He will see us through in His timing and with His plan prevailing. I’m looking forward to working side by side with many of you in the coming months!
Blessings!
Mr. Horning
