MIDDLE SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PARTY! - The Party's tomorrow! Friday, December 18th from 6:30-9:00pm. Time to dress up and have some fun! Dessert, games, karaoke, video contest and a White Elephant gift exchange. Entry to the party is a donation to the Astoria Rescue Mission. The mission has recently acquired a house to provide temporary shelter for families in crisis. They need assistance gathering supplies to get it cleaned and also need some household supplies for the residents. You can look over the list of needs and wants here on the Christmas Party Service Project document. In addition to the Astoria Rescue Mission donation, students will need to bring a wrapped White Elephant gift to the party (no names included). The gift should not be expensive and cannot be dangerous or inappropriate in any way.
A reminder to parents and students: dress code rules do apply for the evening (watch those hemlines and shoulders).
Some of the 8th graders are planning an "After Party" following the scheduled Middle School Christmas event. This event will not be held on campus nor is the school associated with the planning of this event. As such, we are not able to answer any questions about the details or specifics.
SAVE THE DATE - 2nd ANNUAL FATHER/DAUGHTER DANCE 1/30/16! -Our 2nd annual Father/Daughter Dance is going to be held on 1/30/16 from 6:00-8:00pm. Flyers and tickets will be ready directly after Christmas break!
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!
STAFF "ALL ABOUT ME" FORMS - Several parents have asked the office for access to the "All About Me" information pages that our staff fills out each year. Many parents like to refer to it around the Holidays and Teacher Appreciation Week, to learn more about the likes and dislikes of their child's teacher. For your convenience, here is the link to the All About Me forms! All staff are listed in alphabetical order, by last name.
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.

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.
