CLA Community,
We are nearing the end of what has seemed to be a long and winding road for the 2019-2020 school year. This email has a few updates, links, etc that I'll ask you to read through and give your attention. As always, please let me know if you have any questions, thoughts or concerns as the school year comes to an end. If you didn't get a chance to see/participate with chapel this morning, I'd encourage you to watch - https://youtu.be/OP4VNb2iWqo I shared from Revelation 1:8 - a reminder that our Lord is eternal. Thankfully I don't believe our current situation is eternal! We can trust the Lord to continue to carry us. My hope and prayer for our school family is that through this struggle, we have all been able to grow - in our trust in the Lord!
8th Grade graduation - Thursday, May 14 7:00 pm
Graduates, staff, and parents will be meeting on zoom for a graduation ceremony, and you are all invited to watch live on YouTube. Look for a link to join the YouTube live event on our CLA Lions Facebook page or the CLA website at 6:55pm. Or you can find the live stream link if you go to our CLA YouTube channel, using the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVF6TBQiMjuERRJZIerfaqQ If you haven't already done so, see the school facebook page for daily 8th grade graduate videos!
Last day of school - Friday, May 15
All academic work and meetings will be completed by the end of the day on Thursday, so Friday will consist of drop off of technology and pick up of personal materials. You should have (or already had) communication with instructions from teachers about this as it applies to your family. We will have this done in a safe / social distancing manner, so we ask that it doesn't become a gathering/visiting time (as much as we wish we could!)
Family Survey
After 8 weeks of remote learning, we'd like each family to respond to a survey to help us see how things have gone from your perspective. Please, click on this link and take a few minutes to help us! Survey link We don't know what the fall holds, as we will do everything that we possibly can to have learning return to the school building. But if there are some bumps in that road, we want to be informed about remote learning.
Summer Gathering....?!
We are continuing to hope and pray for an opportunity to get together this summer and celebrate the 2019-2020 school year. Due to guidance from the state, we are not able to announce this yet. But keep checking your emails and facebook..... as soon as we can, we'll let everyone know!
May 19th - look for a surprise!
We can't give much information about this.... but our staff is working on something to celebrate the end of the year... look for a special delivery to your home next Tuesday! Kind of like our usual Last Friday of the year awards/celebration mixed together with....well.... you'll see it on Tuesday!
CLA Golf Outing
Usually, at the end of May/early June we have a CLA golf outing. This will not happen as it has in the past, but keep your eyes and emails open for an announcement soon regarding a NEW and DIFFERENT type of EVENT that golfers and sponsors can participate in.
Next year....
The first day of school for the fall is scheduled for Thursday, August 20, 2020! We have very solid registration numbers for next year, and are looking forward to a great year! Look for upcoming school year information throughout the summer. If you need to discuss registration with me, or know a family that would like to join the CLA family, please let us know!
As always, I'm here if you have questions, needs, or just want to talk about the ministry of CLA. Of the 12 years that CLA has been in existence, this has ranked as the most unexpected.... (and the rankings are not even close!). I appreciate each family, staff member, board member, volunteer, and student that has made this year a GOOD year, despite the fact that the last 8 weeks were so different. May the Lord sustain each one of you this day, this week, this upcoming summer....
In Christ,
Mr. Horning
