And this just in... "Jason Calahan, Farmers Insurance Agent, makes a big splash by sponsoring this year's Lionpalooza Dunk Tank!" Thank you Jason!

1 Million Book Campaign

2% of Kenyan primary schools have a library but the students are having a challenging time learning to read due to a lack of books. That's where we come in! From June 1st-14th CCA will be having a book drive.  Take a look at the video to the left and the flyer for more information. You can bring books to either school office or directly to Mrs. Mumley's classroom.  What a great opportunity to share the love of Christ!
Middle School End of Year Activities

 8th GRADE GRADUATION POSTERS - The 8th graders have picked up their supplies for the posters. Please be working on those... they are due back to the office TOMORROW!

7th GRADE PARENTS - It has been tradition here at CCA, that the 7th grade parents be in charge of the serving and clean-up during the 8th Grade Graduation ceremony. This gives the 8th grade parents a chance to just enjoy the evening. Would you please consider helping the team this year?  Please contact Mrs. Pesacreta or Mrs. Thurlow to sign-up.  Thank you!

MIDDLE SCHOOL PICNIC - Our annual MS Picnic at Lewisville Park is June 9th! All the students (and the staff for that matter) look forward to this event each and every year.  Food, organized games and lots of fun are on order - we'd love for you to join us! More info will follow soon.
International Student Program Host Family Opportunities
  • July 25th-30th - We have students from the Nanhai Experimental School coming from China for our summer stay visit again this year. Please mark your calendar's and let us know if you would like to host 1-4 students or if your middle school students would like to be a delegate for the program.  We don't have the total of number of students coming yet but we will know soon. We are anticipating at least 50 students this year! 
  • September 30th-October 3rd - CCA will be hosting 42 high school girls for a short three day stay.   These young ladies will be performing for CCA students and will stay through the weekend.  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.

Please contact Rondy Thurlow for a Host Family application today!

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.
