After School Enrichment Program
CA is proud to announce our After School Enrichment Program. Throughout the year we will continue to add a variety of activities to the schedule. These may include (but are not limited to) courses in fitness, cursive writing, music lessons, art, and more. Be sure to bookmark this site and check it often!
To kick off our fall programs we have 2 fun offerings. Coach Danny Magrans will offer a twice weekly fitness program for our 4th through 12th grade students. This comprehensive program will strengthen your child’s body while teaching them the proper fitness techniques. For more information visit the link below.
Mrs. Marla Clemments will begin teaching a cursive writing course in September. This month-long course will offer second and third grade students an introduction to beautiful art of cursive writing and will strengthen our fourth graders skills. Cursive is a skill taught in our third grade classes at CA so this is a great way to reinforce those skills! For more information visit our link below.

Magazine Sales
Magazine Sales are in full swing! We are so proud of our students for doing such a wonderful job selling magazines. We ask that each child sell 10 magazines to help us reach our goal of $55,000. This is the only school wide fundraiser we do and the money raised supplements our annual budget. The final turn in day is Friday, September 4. You are welcome to also purchase/sell from the gift section of the sale. We hope each family will participate.

We do not guarantee that every photo will be used, but we look forward to seeing your pictures.
