Letter From Administration

Dear CCA Families,

It’s wonderful to see everyone settling into the rhythm of the new semester. Our team is energized and truly excited to return to what we love most: educating and preparing your sons and daughters—our nation’s most treasured assets—for life’s many opportunities and challenges.

This week has been especially inspiring as we took time to celebrate students who not only excelled academically, but also displayed exemplary character during the first semester. Their achievements remind us all of the importance of hard work, integrity, and perseverance.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Mrs. Lisa Cole for her outstanding leadership in organizing this morning’s Awards Ceremony. Mrs. Cole is a phenomenal educational leader who consistently excels in everything she does, and today’s event was no exception.

We are also deeply grateful to all the families who joined us in recognizing these remarkable accomplishments. Your presence is a testament to your unwavering support and commitment to our students’ success. Please take time to read through the students who were recognized this morning below.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend—please stay warm!

Sincerely,
Team CCA

From the Board

Happy Friday CCA! I hope you all had happy holidays and had some time to rest and recharge. It's great to be back, and we are ready to hit the ground running in 2026. 

Our next board meeting will be Wednesday, January 28th. We will receive a presentation from the 8th grade class for their class trip that they will take later in the year, swear in our new board member Brittany Petrilena, and elect officers for the new year. If you would like to attend the meeting, you are welcome to do so in person, or virtually via Google meet. The meeting link can be found on the school website the week of the meeting. Have a great weekend!

Hello CCA Families!
We hope you all had a fabulous break, enjoyed the holidays, and were able to get some much-needed rest.
As we look ahead, PTO is busy planning our Spring Dinner and Auction, which will take place on March 6th at the SEWC Fairgrounds. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we are hoping to put together a dedicated volunteer group specifically for this event. As we all know, many hands make light work! If you are interested in lending a hand, please reach out to us at CCAPto@re3j.com.
Our next PTO meeting will be February 12th after school in the library. We would love to have you join us.
Have a fantastic weekend, CCA!
Warm regards,
CCA PTO
