Reminder: ADJUSTMENT TO MORNING CHAPEL TIME - now 8:30 am
As we start the year, sometimes we notice small adjustments that are necessary for the flow of the school day. We are so glad to have full-school chapels the first day of each week, and to make this flow better in the transitions for students, CHAPEL WILL NOW BEGIN AT 8:30 am on Mondays (or Tuesdays if we have no school on Monday). Chapel will end at 8:50. If possible, having all students arrive at school by 8:25 would help this timing. We will ask any students arriving after 8:25 to go directly to the gym rather than their classrooms. Thanks for helping us make the day go more smoothly!
CLA’s School Picture Day is Monday, September 20
Information was sent home last week, with order forms for PICTURE DAY! If your student (part time or preK) does not normally come on Monday mornings, please plan to come for pictures! Talk with Mrs. Westley for details or times if this is necessary. SMILE!

From the Principal's Desk
Why should we be faithful? Because HE is faithful! In Monday’s chapel, it was a blessing to be able to share the gospel message with our students. Of course, we talk about salvation, forgiveness of sins, fixing our eyes on Jesus… throughout the year and each week. But I was nearly brought to tears as I realized the great opportunity I had to tell our students that our faithfulness to Jesus comes because HE IS FAITHFUL TO FORGIVE OUR SINS AND CLEANSE US FROM OUR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS! Wow. What a blessing we have to proclaim publicly, every day, the gospel. I pray we will always be faithful to share HIM with others!
Blessings,
Mr. Horning
