OPEN HOUSE - MONDAY FEBRUARY 22nd! Join us for our annual Open House! Register for next year, visit the classrooms and hear exciting news about the school! You won't want to miss it!

CCA ADVERTISING ON THE FISH! Listen to 104.1 The Fish starting next week to hear our Superintendent talking about CCA and our upcoming Open House! The ads will be running during morning and evening drive times. Listen to the ad now by clicking here!

ROBOTICS CLUB! - CCA is interested in starting a weekly after school robotics program that will run from March-May of this year.  We are looking for parent volunteers to lead a small group of students. Technology or robotics experience is not required.  Parents will receive service hours for their volunteer time.  To learn more about this program, go to First Lego League's website. Please email Tracy Stevens if you would like to volunteer!

EVENT HELP NEEDED - A well-loved CCA tradition, the "Variety Show and Dessert Raffle", is in need of your help!  We are looking for someone to step up to coordinate this event, and a team of helpers to assist them.  The Variety Show has been rescheduled to the last Friday in April (4/29). If no one steps forward, we will have to cancel this event this year.  If you would be willing to help, or have any questions about what is involved, please send an email to Mrs. Thulin. Thank 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!

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.
Like a shepherd He will tend His flock, in His arm He will gather the lambs and carry them in His bosom; He will gently lead the nursing ewes.

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.
