Dear CLA Families,
We are so excited to announce this year’s holiday fundraiser Heart & Home – hosted by Cherrydale! With this fundraiser you will not only support CLA enrichment programs, but 40% of your sales will also be deducted from your fundraising fees. It’s a win-win! Fundraising catalogs were sent home in last week’s Friday Folders and include instructions to get started. If you have additional questions, please click HERE for more information.
If every student sells a minimum of 10 items, we will hit our $5,000 goal as a school. The class that sells the most will earn an ice cream party! All classes will be averaged by class size and sales to determine class winners. Winners will be announced to the whole school over the PA!

Trade just one or two fancy brews for a donation by clicking HERE. Each month, your $10 (or more) donation will be added with others to make one significant impact!
WHAT CAN MY $10 DO FOR CLA STUDENTS?
For many CLA families and prospective families it’s very difficult to afford a Christian education. You have the power to change all of that.
Here’s what appreciative parents are saying:
“Placing our child in CLA was the best decision I’ve made. Her confidence is back. She loves coming to school again. She is able to get one-on-one help and her reading levels have gone up. She’s learning new things everyday and enjoys it. She no longer feels overwhelmed. By keeping our daughter in CLA she will get the best education and learning experience there is.”
“CLA has been a second family to our daughter. She has learned so many things academically, socially, and spiritually. She is safe and appreciated by teachers and friends. The continuous effort to improve every aspect of the school motivates us to continue investing there and spreading the word in our community.”
Praise the Lord for these testimonies! This is why we’re inviting you to join the monthly giving “One Cup of Coffee“ campaign.
Collectively, your ongoing monthly gift, along with others can:
Our CLA families and kids are counting on you!

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. 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 this another amazing year at CLA!
Sincerely,
Craig O’Neil

This is a very special award given by grade. In each class, students choose a classmate who they believe best exemplified Christ-like character throughout the year. At CLA we call this being a Timothy!
Every year the teachers of Christian Life Academy nominate a student for the Principal’s Award. This award is given to the student who has most consistently exemplified Christian character throughout the school year. This year was a special year because two students were given the Principal’s Award!
Congratulations to Nicholas and Noah, both second graders who went out of their way this year to include a brand new classmate and make him feel welcome. We are so proud of you!
