Key Club Corner

Key Club officers have been busy calculating service hours from last semester, and nasty grams have been sent out to those members who did not earn enough hours to remain in Key Club. Those members who did not make the cut are encouraged to rejoin in the fall. Members who are short 1-4 hours have until Tuesday to purchase their missing hours so that they can remain in the club.

Our first all-member meeting for 2012 will be this Thursday, Jan. 26 at 7:15a.m. in the gym. This meeting is mandatory.  Current members will be reminded that they are required to complete 20 total service hours for this semester in order to maintain their Key Club membership. We are also stressing and enforcing the 5 hours with the club from this point onward.

The annual Key Club Convention is March 16-18 in Chattanooga. All Key Club members are encouraged to attend and members will be receiving information about convention in the mandatory meeting on Thursday. Current service opportunities include working the concession stand and the spirit cart during home basketball games.

We are collecting several different items for various organizations at this time. Members are encouraged to bring in tubes of toothpaste from now until January 29 to benefit medical missions in Haiti. Art supplies will continue to be collected for hospitalized children at Gateway Hospital. Also, we have decided to continue with our F.U.E.L. food drive.

The end of the first semester is in sight and members still have opportunities to earn service hours. Remember that 20 total service hours are required for each semester in order to maintain your Key Club membership. 10 of those hours can be obtained via donations, but at least 10 of them must be from hands-on service. Let’s keep doing what we are doing, saving the world one hour at a time!

We would like to thank everyone who donated items to Operation Homefront’s Holiday House last week. The CA community collected $2,500 worth of books, games, and toys. Many military families will now have gifts this Christmas thanks to this effort and donations from you.

The annual Kiwanis Wrapping Party is today (12/5/11) and will begin at 5:00p.m. Volunteers are needed to help wrap gifts for 270 kids. Food and drinks will be provided. The wrapping party will take place at First Baptist Church at 5:00p.m. The gifts will be handed out during the Kiwanis Children’s Christmas Party on December 6th and December 13th.

MONDAY MESSENGER

Published at Clarksville Academy, 710 North Second, Clarksville, TN. 37040

Week of November 28, 2011

Clarksville Academy is a pre-kindergarten through grade twelve, college-preparatory school. 

Our mission is to promote academic excellence, moral integrity, and physical and social growth.

Values:  Scholarship-Honor-Character-Respect-Success

Clarksville Academy General News and Announcements

Congratulations Varsity Cheerleaders!

The Clarksville Academy family is so proud of the eight varsity cheerleaders who spent a week in New York to perform in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.  These ladies worked hard all week to learn their routine to perform in front of thousands in the streets of New York City (and for the millions of spectators viewing them on television).  The eight cheerleaders who had the great honor of being selected from candidates across the nation were: Sarah Elrod, Kayla Franks, Claire Kinney, MacKenzie McConnell, Brandi Phillips, Mariah Riggins, Brittney Seay, and Megan Thompson.  Great job, Ladies!

FCA Silent Auction

Clarksville Academy’s Upper School Fellowship of Christian Athletes will be holding a Silent Auction on December 2 to assist with funding for our Christmas projects.  If you would like to donate an item, please turn it in to Mrs. Turnage by December 1.

Lower School Art

Recently, our third, fourth, and fifth graders created their own “glass blown” sculpture in Lower School Art. This project was inspired by the glass art of Dale Chihuly. The students began by studying the organic forms and the bright colors of Chihuly’s art. They also learned about the glass making process. Then, they created their own artwork out of plastic cups. Each cup was colored and melted to create three original organic forms. Students selected one of the “blown glass” pieces to mount on a wooden base for individual display. The remaining two art pieces were added to a group installation.  These great pieces are now on display in the main building across from Mrs. Turnage’s desk.  We are auctioning off three trees (one from each grade).  Come by and place your bid on the paper provided in the display area.  All bids must be received by 3:00 P.M. on Thursday.  Winners will be announced Friday!

CA Book Fair

The book fair is back and is out of this world!  Be sure to visit the library November 21 – December 2 to see what we have this year.  Consider a purchase for our library or your child’s classroom. Wish lists are available in the library.

Operation Homefront

Upper School’s Key Club would like to encourage as many students and families of Clarksville Academy to participate in Operation Homefront’s Holiday House.

Last year approximately 1,300 children received gifts through the efforts of Operation Homefront.

As you are out shopping for your family over the next few weeks, please consider picking up an item for this cause. Holiday House has asked that only books, games, and toys be donated and that no donation exceed $25. We also encourage you to purchase the books through CA’s library since the Book Fair will be in town from November 21-December 2. Please do not donate furniture, clothing, or bikes. Donations will be collected in the library during school hours on Friday, December 2nd.

We have the ability to give back to our military community and impact their lives in a profound way. We hope that you choose to give back to these families this holiday season that are struggling through these tough, economic times.

Collection day is this Friday, December 2nd, and donations will be collected in the library during normal school hours.  Everyone is encouraged to donate a toy, a book, and/or a game to a military family in need. The donated items should not exceed $25 and no bikes, furniture, or clothing will be accepted. Key Club members will be needed on collection day to help out in the library!

Key Club Corner

Members, bell ringing for the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Drive has begun! It will continue for the next two Saturdays in November. As of this year, an adult is REQUIRED to be present while our students are volunteering. If you are able to participate, then please contact Miss Manning (jmanning@clarksvilleacademy.com). Our club has been assigned both doors at the Wal-Mart in Sango, and Key Club members can sign up at the break table.

We will also be participating in an effort called Operation Homefront’s Holiday House, which collects and distributes holiday gifts for the families of the lowest paid members of the military (E1-E6). Key club members will play an instrumental role in increasing awareness of this effort to the rest of the school (upper, intermediate, and lower schools).  Our members will encourage other students and their families to donate a toy, a book, and/or a game to a military family in need. The donated items should not exceed $25 and no bikes, furniture, or clothing will be accepted. Donations will be collected at CA after the Thanksgiving break and more information on this event is forthcoming.

The big push for donated items during the month of November is to participate in a F.U.E.L. program that benefits local high school students that do not have enough money for food on the weekends. For many teenagers living in Montgomery County, their only source of food comes from the school lunch programs and individuals are forced to go with little or no sustenance over the weekend. Our club is collecting the following items to donate to local high school food pantries: canned tuna, canned chicken, dry chicken noodle soup, tuna helper, jars of peanut butter, fruit cups, pudding cups, fruit juice, granola bars, and dry instant meals (just add water).  We encourage students to donate any of these food items for credit so that they can help children their age that are in need.

Also, Angel trees have been delivered. If you would like to purchase gifts for a little boy/girl this holiday season then please get in touch with Ms. Manning.

Lastly, please remember that 20 hours total are required for this semester.  Ten of those must be hands-on service hours and ten may come from donations. So, keep up the good work volunteering and bringing in donations! We’re saving the world, one hour at a time!
