Big Events Coming Up! Please get involved!
We are planning the CLA FALL GOLF OUTING - that’s new - in the fall! FRIDAY OCTOBER 1st at North Greens Golf Course in Atlanta, IL. You’ll soon see more information coming, but if you play golf, or have friends or family that play, please tell them to take that day off of work, and plan to play a round of golf in support of the school. Also, we would like to have some helpers/volunteers in preparation, planning, etc. Talk to Mr. Horning if you can help!
Life Days 2021 will be Friday and Saturday, October 15-16. Many details will be forthcoming, and there will also likely be some “pre-event” activities as well in the weeks leading up to that weekend.

From the Principal's Desk
Fix your eyes on Jesus…. and help someone else fix their eyes on Jesus. This was our chapel thought on Monday. What can each one of us do that helps others to follow Jesus? It is my firm belief that our walk of faith cannot be ours alone. It is a personal walk, but there are others we must walk alongside. I pray that each of us find others to challenge and encourage one another to follow Jesus! Hebrews 10:24-25 reminds us to “spur one another on” and to “not give up meeting together” and that “encouraging one another” is so important.
Blessings,
Mr. Horning
