**Reminders from the Principal Team**
Please be sure to return any necessary documents to the office- medication forms, income forms, physicals (dated after 8/1/24), dental or vision screenings, etc. All new students need to have a copy of their birth certificate on file as well. We appreciate your timely attention to returning them!
**From the Desk of the Dean**
This first week of school has already been a blast. From the picnic on Monday, to seeing all the smiling faces in chapel Tuesday morning, having students and families back in the buildings (and playground) is great! I’m reminded that we are all a part of this large family/community, ALL striving to know Jesus better. The scripture (and song) in chapel this week was from Joshua 1:9. We are reminded that God commands us to be strong and courageous, not because of our own strength, but because we know that the Lord our God is WITH us! I am especially glad that we can look to God to lead our big family here at CLA.
Blessed to be a part of this community!
Mr. Horning
