A Letter from Alli Morgan

Dear CLA parents,

My name is Alli, and I’m the owner of Alleycat Catering. I provided the CLA hot lunch program for 9+ years up until the Covid pandemic. That very difficult season made the program impossible to run, and so we had no choice but to close it down. This Fall, however, we are excited to be back and to commence our 10th year!

A little information about me. I was born and raised in Australia where, after a four-year working apprenticeship and trade college, I qualified as a chef and then worked in several restaurants, including one of the largest department stores in Melbourne.

I am passionate about good nutrition for our own family, and a big believer in the truth of what ancient Hippocrates said: “Let food be thy medicine, or medicine will be thy food.” I believe that, working together, we can encourage all our children to love eating well.

My husband and I have 6 children, all of whom have been students at CLA! 4 have graduated, with 2 enrolled for 2023-2024. We love our school. It is always such a joy to have the support of parents and staff so that I can serve you and your children the best way possible. I know how much we all look forward to the new school year, and I can’t wait to see all the little faces once again.  

Love and blessings,

Alli Morgan

Please submit October’s order forms to the Main Office by Thursday, September 28th

Alleycat Catering has provided a yummy preview of this month’s dishes. 

We can’t wait to try them!

  • Big Mac in a Bowl – A delicious, healthy salad that tastes just like a Big Mac without the bun. Ground beef, cheese and delicious “special sauce”. You’ll love it!
  • Indian Butter Chicken – Chicken cooked in the fragrant tastes of India (but not too spicy) – ginger, garlic, turmeric, garam masala and cumin, lathered in a lemony yogurt sauce.
  • Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowl – Tender pieces of stir-fry chicken covered with a sweet soy sauce glaze, served on a bed of rice and vegetables.

 

Welcome Back, CLA!

Dear CLA Parents and Community,

It is my pleasure to welcome you all back to Christian Life Academy!  We are all excited to have students back in our classrooms, filling them with excitement and enthusiasm for learning.  It is our mission to help every child feel welcomed, safe, and connected to the CLA family. We strive to challenge each student to grow both spiritually and academically, while helping each student achieve their best and realize the fullness of God’s plan for their lives.  At CLA, we have great teachers who spend hours planning and creating a classroom environment in which each student is engaged in the learning process. We believe that all students have the potential to be world changers and we strive to help them harness their God-given gifts and talents, using them to glorify God and to be productive citizens.

I am honored to serve as the principal of Christian Life Academy.  It is truly a privilege to be a part of a community where parents, teachers, and students care for each other and strive to build positive relationships that support academic, social, emotional, and spiritual growth.

Once again, welcome back!  Let’s make 2023/2024 another amazing year at CLA!

 

Sincerely,

Craig O’Neil
