CHRISTMAS CONCERT HELP NEEDED - Our music director, Mr. Wise, has requested some help! The stage and band equipment needs to be torn down immediately following our Christmas Concert on 12/15. Extra hands would sure make it quick and painless! He is expecting it would take roughly 15-30 minutes following the final number of the concert. If you could help, please contact Mrs. Thulin in the Elementary Office. Thank you so much!

MIDDLE SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PARTY! - Friday, December 18th is our annual Middle School Christmas Party. This is a time for the students to dress up and have some fun! We will be eating, playing games, having a White Elephant exchange, and enjoying the Christmas Video contest (guidelines for the video contest went home today). It's something the students look forward to each year! Details to follow.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR - VARIETY SHOW 2/26 - CCA's annual Variety Show and Dessert Raffle will be Friday, February 26th. Try-outs are scheduled for 1/26 and 1/28, so if you want to be a part of the show, start working on your act over Christmas Break! Can't wait to see what our Lions come up with this year!

DOES YOUR STUDENT NEED HELP WITH MATH? We've got a solution for you! Mr. Smith, our Middle School math teacher is offering after school tutoring. Please contact him for available dates/times.

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.
