SLIGHT 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 is going home this week, with order forms for PICTURE DAY! If your student (part time or pre-K) 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!

We are planning the CLA FALL GOLF OUTING - that’s new - in the fall! FRIDAY OCTOBER 8th at North Greens Golf Course in Atlanta, IL. (Yes, the date has moved from the 1st to the 8th) 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. Life Days is our biggest fundraiser, and we will need EVERYONE to get involved. If you want to know more about Life Days, and help… talk with Mr. Horning!

From the Principal's Desk
This week we wrapped up the “Focused” portion of our 3-part fall series in chapel. Next week we will begin to look at the word “Faithful.” I’d encourage families to talk at home about what the word “Faithful” means in your context. How does your faithfulness to God impact your home? Your neighborhood? Your activities? As we embark on this idea of “faithful” we will look at Hebrews 10:23, “Holding Unswervingly….” and also the account of Esther from the Old Testament. Would you pray for our regular chapel times, that our faith would be strengthened each week?
Blessings,
Mr. Horning
