A message from Mrs. Barb Lawson, who is retiring July 31!
CLA Students, Staff and Families:
Thank you for adding to the joy of my retirement with your well wishes. I will always remember your kindness! Lastly, I leave you with this thought: There is only ever one of each of us. We are neither better nor less than anybody else, but rather the best or least of ourselves. I am still working to find the best of me. It is an ongoing journey. Thank you for being my traveling companions along a large and important part of my way. I am forever grateful for your company and the collection of shared experiences printed on my mind. God bless you!
-Barb Lawson
Welcome to the CLA Family, Mrs. Jenny Travis, high school teacher!
We are excited to welcome a new teacher to the CLA community. Mrs. Jenny Travis and her husband Dexter live in Tremont. She has two boys (10 and 12) and has experience teaching math, working as an engineer, being a mom, and working at Eli’s in Tremont. Mrs. Travis is excited to share her faith and experiences with high school students as CLA’s new math and science teacher.
BIG NEWS…Building Campaign for CLA Expansion
The big news for the summer is a building campaign! We need additional space, including a science lab for MS/HS and classroom spaces for HS. Details are in the attached letter, but the key information is: Once $50,000 is raised, we will break ground and build as soon as possible. How Exciting! Share the news with others and consider how you, your family and friends might support this project. Please start by praying for God’s leading in the project as we seek the best from Him for our school community.
CLA Staff Positions for next year - pass the word along!
As our school grows, there are several additional part-time staff positions open for next year, as roles change and we seek staff that will guide and support our students into Christ-like learning opportunities. The following positions will be available:
Lunchroom/Kitchen Manager/Cook (part time - 10-15 hours/week)
Daycare Staff: Summer, Before School, School Breaks position (part time - 5-10 hours/week)
If you know of a candidate for any of these positions, please pass the word on to the candidate, or talk with Mr. Horning. We have been blessed with amazing staff over our history, and we know that God has the perfect plan on how our staff will grow and change next year!
From The Principal’s Desk…
What an exciting time we are involved with here at Christian Life Academy. I have had the privilege of visiting with multiple families recently, who are exploring the option of joining the Christian Life Academy family. Conversations about what happens at our school, explaining the relationships that are built for the Kingdom among our families, students and teachers, gives me increased energy and vision for the future. I challenge you to talk with others about the CLA difference. What makes CLA the right place for your family? Tell others about it! Gain encouragement and energy by sharing your story.
And now… we are kicking off a building project! That’s an immense challenge, an incredible opportunity, and an even more incredible way to see how GOD WILL WORK HIS PLAN through Christian Life Academy. Please continue to pray with me that we never get ahead of, or out of line with God’s direction and plan for CLA. The Lord’s arm is not too short (Numbers 11:23), and we want to walk through open doors, never denying the Lord’s name (Revelation 3:7-8).
In Christ,
Mr. Horning
