Our CLA Fall Festival was a blast! Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy the fun. We had a fantastic turnout with 453 attendees! The night was filled with food, games, and dancing.
The CLA Guitar/Orchestra club is up and going with Mr. Harrington. We are excited to see this group perform at our Winter Program.
Staff Spotlight - Renee Breiholz is CLA's fantastic Kindergarten teacher. If one gets the chance to chat with her, they will quickly find out she is a sweet soul inside and out! Her passion for our youngest learners is clearly visible each and every day. At this time of the year, Renee can be found wearing a mustache or disco ball headband alongside her kindergartners as they begin the year with "ABC Bootcamp". We are proud to serve scholars alongside Mrs. B and are so thankful to have her on the CLA team!
Join us for the CLA Fall Festival & Trunk-or-Treat tonight at 5pm at our K8 campus!
Our CLA 2nd and 3rd grade classes traveled to the Oregon Caves last week. Scholars learned about stalactites and stalagmites as they adventured underground!
