Journey of Worship

Each year Summitview Church offers a self-guided Journey of Worship to allow families to take a few quiet moments and reflect on the meaning of Easter. This is in the sanctuary of the church and the “journey” takes about 20-30 minutes depending on how long you want to reflect at each station.  This is a great way to participate in the Easter story with your family and is open to the public each day next week.

Safety in Parking Lot

Please review the new safety regulations sent out by e-mail to help keep students safe in the parking lot, especially on Monday and Thursday when Olive Tree is in session.

March 19, 2012

Auction

The auction for CCA will be April 20, 2012.  If you know of business or individuals that would like to donate please contact Yvette Kershner.  The success of the auction depends on items to auction and people to buy.  Please invite those you know, the auction works better when there are more people.  Invite your family and friends as there will be an excellent meal and the auction really is a fun time.

End of Quarter

Thursday March 22 is the end of the third quarter and report cards will be sent out the following week.

Penny Wars

The Penny war is over and the winner will be announced this week.

Reminder

If you know of families that are looking for a school. Please promote CCA.  Our goal is to fill each classroom.  Feel free to promote the info meetings, facebook, and good old fashioned word of mouth.  We are dependent on tuition to run the school.  We are fortunate to have great teachers and would like to increase their pay which could happen if we were able to add more students.

Art Class

Art will meet this week from 1-2:30 for those that signed up.

February 26, 2012

Penny Wars

As part of our fundraising efforts, we conduct our annual penny wars. This is a fun time for the students and it helps support our school as well. Each class will have a jar to be filled with pennies. Everyone needs to bring as many pennies as they can for their jar in competition with the other classes. The “wars” begin when students also bring in silver coins to place in the other class jars, because the value of the silver coins cancels out an equal amount of pennies. So students are trying to get as many pennies as they can for their class and as many silver coins as they can for the other classes. So, scrounge around your house and empty your junk drawer and coin jar and let the wars begin!

Rollerland
CCA’s night at Rollerland will be March 8. This is a fun night for the students and also a time for families to get together and visit. Feel free to bring friends and family as this is also a fund raiser for our school.

Auction Help Needed

Our auction will be here before you know it. We count on every family at CCA to do their part to help make this a success for our school and here are some ways to contribute.

Mark your calendar and ask all your friends and family to save the date. Calendars get full quickly and the sooner we can get the date out, the better our attendance will be.

Ask businesses you know for donations that can be auctioned off either at the live auction or the silent auction. Yvette can provide you with a letter that provides our tax exempt info so businesses can benefit from their donation as well.

Contact Yvette Kershner at 443-5639 or e-mail at yvettekersh@gmail.com and ask how you can help with the dinner and auction.

Thanks so much for you willingness to be a part of this exciting night.

Enrollment Forms

Please remember to return enrollment forms this week. After March 1, we will be contacting parents who have not returned their forms to check with them about their plans for next year.

Box Tops
We are again collecting Box Tops for a fund raising effort for our school. This year we are doing something a little bit different. We are setting a goal for the classes and when they reach that goal, they will receive a pizza party. The goal for each class is 2000 Box Tops. Because some of the classes are so small, we will be combining a few. 1st and 3rd grade will be collecting together and K and 4th will be a team as well as 6th and 7th. The other classes contain enough students to collect on their own. So cut out those Box Tops and send them to school to help your child’s class reach their goal.

Tuition

January tuition is due Monday, January 9, 2012.

CCA Fundraising Auction and Dinner

Time is drawing near for our annual auction and dinner. This event is very important to our school as it raises money to help fund our school so we can keep the cost of tuition low for everyone. Because we depend so much on the success of this event, we ask that each family be a part of the effort in making this a quality affair. We will be having a planning meeting on Monday January 16 at 11:00 a.m. in the room off the gym. We ask that at least one member of each family attend this meeting. If for some reason you cannot attend, Yvette will then contact you to let you know how you can help with our auction. Please make this volunteer job a priority as the success of the auction depends on each one of us.

2. With our numbers in the upper school being very strong this year, we are looking to add a fifth grade teacher for next year. We could also use your help in finding just the right teacher for this position, so please let Shirley know if you have someone in mind who might be interested.

3. We will be e-mailing out a letter with all of our opportunities for new families to come and hear about our school in the near future and would like to ask if each family can help pass along this information as well.

We have decided not to have the students travel to the facilities or deliver the boxes. Instead, we will have everyone bring their assigned item in no later than Tuesday morning. On Tuesday morning, we will meet in the gym and pray over the boxes and Kyle will then deliver them to HNS. Thanks to everyone for participating in this important and much needed project.
