Attention dance club families...
At this time, there is not enough club interest for an end of summer performance and use of CLA gym space. We can happily accommodate a couple more girls into our home dance studio! Original conversations had us anticipating larger numbers, but summer schedules and life happens. If you haven't done so already, please reach out to Shyla Thorne with your interest or questions. We will make a decision on if CLA is needed to host this year by tomorrow (May 10).

Did you know? State Farm and Caterpillar employees can help CLA
State Farm employees, as well as Caterpillar employees and retirees, are able to take advantage of matching funds from their companies to benefit Christian Life Academy. Caterpillar link is www.caterpillar.com/matching-gifts. This is an annual option, so you may look into this for 2024 also. State Farm has both a “good neighbor” program (volunteer hours equals a company donation) and a donor matching program throughout the year. If you want to take advantage of this, Mr. Horning or Mrs. Westley are glad to help!
From the Principal's Desk
I cannot say enough great things about our teachers… Christian Life Academy is so wonderfully blessed to have dedicated, loving, selfless, Godly, nurturing, hardworking, caring, inventive, creative, faithful, brilliant, amazing teachers! (I could use many more wonderful adjectives, but you get the point!) If you haven’t seen these traits in our staff, well, you might have your eyes and ears closed! As we near completion of our 16th year, once again I can say “God has sent us the greatest people” to serve Him and work alongside one another and our CLA families.
This week was “Teacher Appreciation Week,” where our PTF blessed the staff with many ways of saying “thanks” for a job well done. I want to echo that sentiment here. Our people are amazing. THANK YOU, CLA teachers and staff. Let’s finish this year well!
Blessings,
Mr. Horning
