Life Days 2022 Updates - Just a few weeks away!
REMINDER - please check student backpacks for papers coming home… recently we have sent out a family response sheet, posters, donor sheets, order forms, and more…
PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING OR SOLICITING A DONATION OF A LARGE AUCTION ITEM!
Starting on MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, we will have our 15th Anniversary CLA T-shirts available! They will be at the school office, at a price of $15/shirt, cash and carry… So stop by! We have sizes YM through XXXL, in green and white. There is NO pre-order for T-shirts, just the available stock… so come and get them! You may also call the office to check sizes available, and we will set shirts aside for the next day payment. This is a part of the Life Days fundraiser, but we’ll likely re-stock shirts through the year if we sell out on certain sizes.

Change Wars Update
Congratulations to everyone for bringing in so many dimes last week! The total was $357 in dimes, for a total of just over $557 brought in change so far over three weeks. The winner of the contest for last week (most dimes) was the 5th/6th grade team, with 983 dimes. Great Job! This week, students have one more day to bring in QUARTERS! The totals will be announced next week and the winning teams will begin receiving their prizes.
Pizza Ranch Tip Night - What a great time of fellowship and a Successful Fundraiser!
What a great time of eating, serving, and raising funds for CLA this past Monday, September 26th! The Pizza Ranch in Morton was bursting with CLA families and friends. Can you believe that $1155 was raised in support of Tuition Assistance? That’s right! Thank you everyone for participating, and a special thank you to Mrs. Gibson for organizing and the many students and parents who volunteered. Fun times!
The next Pizza Ranch Fundraiser for CLA is set for Monday, February 20, so mark your calendars!

Days currently needed are Mondays and Thursdays but any time you can give is greatly appreciated! Please consider giving to the ministry at CLA through volunteering!
From the Principal's Desk
Recently I had a conversation with another CLA staff person. We were discussing what Life Days 2022 will look like in comparison to the last few years, when we didn’t do many “in-person” activities. We both were considering (and a bit nervous) that it just won’t be the same as it was in the traditional Life Days many years ago. But as we talked, we remembered that God is in control. What HE desires to happen for Life Days 2022, in support of the school, will be exactly what should happen. Just because it might not be “the same” as a past year, doesn’t mean it isn’t God’s plan. This is a good reminder for all activities and events of our lives, of course!
So, am I still a bit unsure about Life Days 2022 - “back in the building?” Of course! But what I am completely sure about… is that God is in charge. That’s a great feeling. I’m so excited and looking forward to the Life Days activities. And I’m excited to see each of you there!
Blessings!
Mr. Horning
