Behold, I am with you and I will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.
Genesis 28:25

HELP...ELEMENTARY LOST AND FOUND IS OVERFLOWING!! Parents, PLEASE come check the lost and found rack to see if any of the items belong to your student. Our first donation date is not until after conferences; however, the rack literally fell over this morning because it is so full of "no longer lost" items! We would also ask that you please mark your student's name in their clothing, especially coats, which get left on the playground daily. Thank you!

 

MIDDLE SCHOOL CHEER CAMP & TRYOUTS - DEADLINE EXTENDED!  Is your 6th-8th grade student wanting to try out for the Cheer Team? We will be having Cheer Camp Wednesday 11/4 and Thursday 11/5 from 3:30-5:00pm at the Middle School. Try-outs will be Friday 11/6. Please check out the CCA Cheerleading Form for more details.

Box Tops & Campbells Labels

Did you know that CCA earns money for each and every Box Top & Campbells label you turn in? This money has been used for much needed items from PE Equipment to Art Supplies. As an added incentive, we have quarterly contests to see which class can bring in the most! If you have any questions, please contact the PTF.
Effortless Fundraising

CCA has partnered with Fred Meyer and AmazonSmile in an opportunity to raise money. For Fred Meyer customers, it is as easy as linking your rewards card. For Amazon.com shoppers, all of the same products, prices, and service you are accustomed to are accessible through AmazonSmile, which donates 0.5% of each purchase to CCA. By taking a few simple steps you may aide in the raising of funds. For more information about the necessary steps, see our flyer.
