School pictures are ready to view and order online!
Ordering information can be found after this important message from the CCA School Board:
Hello CCA families! We are grateful for each of you and excited about the school year unfolding. We are also very appreciative of our school photographer and CCA mom, Mrs. Christie Gare, who always captures great shots of your students for your memories and to contribute to our award-winning yearbook. If you see Mrs. Gare, please feel free to give her a personal thank you. An even better way to show her your gratitude is to purchase your favorites! Photography is Mrs. Gare's livelihood. It is important that we as parents purchase any photos that we want to keep, and only use pictures as we have license to do so; using a copyrighted image without permission, even if it is found online, is a violation of copyright law and directly impacts Mrs. Gare's business. Pro tip: if it has a watermark, it hasn't been paid for. Please join us in showing your support and gratitude to Mrs. Gare for her talented work!

NAUMS Parent Training Opportunity
Topic: Cultivating Lasting Faith in the Next Generations
CCA Parents, the NAUMS (National Association of University Model Schools) organization is offering a parent Zoom training this evening. Below is information on how you can participate in Ellen Schuknecht's training.
As Christian parents and educators, we are called to sow seeds of truth into the hearts of the next generation. We pray for soil that is ready to receive, where gospel seeds can take root and flourish. But what are the essential seeds of faith we must plant? How can we faithfully nurture the soil of our children’s hearts, so their roots grow deep and strong?
Join us in this year’s Zoom sessions as we explore our role in cultivating a faith that endures—a faith that grows, bears fruit and continues long after us.
