CCA Parent Survey - Online!
Cornerstone Christian Academy is currently conducting surveys schoolwide in an effort to improve system practices. Our students have been having fun taking surveys in class this week as they give us their feedback as well! The Parent Survey link was emailed to your registered email address on Monday. Your opinion is very important to us, and we ask that you please take the time to complete the survey, which will be available from January 11-22. If you need the link re-sent, Mrs. Thulin would be happy to help . Families with multiple children at CCA, if your survey answers would be different based on the different grade levels of your children, feel free to take the survey more than once. Any and all input is valuable to us and appreciated.
As a way of saying "Thank You", we are offering 2 service hours upon completion of the survey! Just send an email to Mrs. Thulin indicating that you have taken the survey and she will record the hours for you.

LONG TIME CCA FAMILY IN NEED - One of our staff members, Lori Arnold, recently found out that her husband, Andy, has been diagnosed with Cerebellar Ataxia with Nystagmus. The cerebellum regulates voluntary muscle movement. The cerebellum part of his brain is much smaller than would be expected in someone of his age. This means Andy can no longer work and needs full time care. The doctors believe that it is genetic with a late onset. CCA would like to come along side the Arnold family through prayers and donations to help with medical bills. As a result, we have set up a GoFundMe account...all money raised will go directly to the Arnold family to pay for Andy's care. If you would like to help, please click here to donate. Thank you in advance for your prayers and help!
FAMILY IN NEED OF MEALS - WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP? We are arranging meals for the Demmitt family again as Lisa recovers from surgery. They have four young children at home, so preparing meals while trying to recover is a bit overwhelming. If you would like to help, please go to the Take Them a Meal page for more details. Thank you in advance CCA family for your generosity!
MRS. LAYNE NEEDS ITEMS FOR ART - Mrs. Layne is looking for paper towel and toilet paper tubes for an upcoming art project at the Elementary School. If you'd like to help, please bring them in to the Elementary office. Thank you!
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.
