THE NED SHOW -
Will be here tomorrow during ES Chapel! The NED Show is a character education program that centers around three important messages that have life long relevance:
* Never Give Up * Encourage Others * Do Your Best *
During the assembly, students will learn about NED's three messages while also enjoying storytelling, magic, humor and yo-yo tricks. NED's flyer gives a bit more information. Yo-yo's will be available for sale in the Elementary office all next week.

This after-school program instructs in the principles that will help your student improve in chess, as well as develop life skills that will aid in academics, sports, arts, all the while maintaining a fun, exciting environment! Just complete the registration form and join us!
REMINDER PARENTS AND STUDENTS -
As the weather warms up, we want to remind you to be mindful of our school dress code. This dress code was created with the goal to honor the Lord, establish the best possible setting and atmosphere for a quality Christian education, and represent CCA favorably in our community as a witness for our Lord. The following are of special concern in this warm weather, as we have been experiencing issues on a daily basis:
1. Shorts, skirts & dresses no more than 3" above knee.
2. Shoulders & midriff must be covered at all times - No sleeveless, backless, low cut, or spaghetti strap
tops or dresses.
3. No flip-flops or slippers.
LIONPALOOZA -
Our annual Year End Extravaganza is being planned now! We sure could use your help! There are many volunteer opportunities available... from ticket sales to food service to game supervision and everything in between. There is a spot for you! To entice you... if you sign on to help, we will cover your 3rd Trimester Service Hours! How about that? Just let Mr. Hoff know you are interested by email or by calling him at 256-9715.
DRUM AND PIANO LESSONS!
Mr. Wise has time slots open for Drum and Piano lessons, as well as private tutoring. Please email him for specifics or visit his website for more information!

We are asking that host families would house two girls at each home. There will be a small stipend provided for each host family.
Being a host is a great way to share Jesus! Check out this video to see what others say about their experience.

By taking a few simple steps you may aide in the raising of funds. For more information about the necessary steps, see our flyer.
