Keeping in Touch
April 7, 2008
Our gorgeous spring weather has left us – but hopefully only for a short while. We enjoyed a few warm days last week with students taking every opportunity to be outside and soak up some of the sun. By Friday, however, the rain had returned and we had another tennis match cancelled. The girls are still waiting to get in our first match and the boys have only had the opportunity to play 1 ½ matches. Track, however, goes on in spite of the weather. The team has done quite well so far this season, improving on their team score each week.
This past week the Student Council enjoyed a luncheon with the school administration. It was a fun time for relaxing together and enjoying good Mexican food. The students had a chance to give input to us with their suggestions and ideas for the upcoming year.
Sunday worship service brought us a wonderful time of praising the Lord. I am so proud of our student participation. 22 students (and staff as well!) from 7 different nations come together to help lead us in praise and worship this week. It was wonderful to hear the bongos played by Joshua Sandrali and the violin solo by Hillary Ahn. Of course we always enjoy our drummer San Kim and his brother bassist Kang Kim. Sunday night, the students thoroughly enjoyed dinner provided by the Ami Sushi restaurant of Roseburg, OR. They brought a variety of sushi as well as Korean BBQ. As you can see by the pictures, the students had a great time! Next week, on April 14th, we will be enjoying Chinese food brought to us by Lee’s Wok, of Myrtle Creek, OR. I know the students will enjoy that as well.
Tuesday and Wednesday mornings will be taken up with our annual National Achievement Testing which ranks each student comparing them with students in the same grade across the United States. This Saturday night will be the annual CCA Talent Show. I took a peak at the line-up and it looks like we will have a good variety of talent. It is an event that I always enjoy very much. We have a few tennis matches coming up this week also, if the rain stops and 2 track meets also.
Our Advanced Art class will leave on April 9th to head up to Seattle for the ASCI Art Competition. After seeing some of the amazing work that our students produce, I am confident that they will do quite well. Mr. Shaffer’s Seminar class is leaving on Friday on their annual visit to the Getty Museum in L.A. This year, they were able to obtain tickets for Phantom of the Opera and will take in a show as well.
From now until the end of the year, it seems like every week is full to overflowing with activities, but don’t worry, students still find the time to study. This week on Friday we will honor those students who have a GPA of 3.25 or above for the 3rd quarter at the Academic Awards assembly. Our Principal’s List honors students with a GPA of 3.75 or above, the Honor Society honors students with a GPA of 3.50 to 3.74, and the Honor Roll honors those students with a GPA of 3.25 to 3.49. We will also name those students who have qualified to be CPR certified for the 3rd quarter. C.P.R. stands for Christian Character, Personal Responsibility and Respect and students earn privileges by not only keeping good grades, but by also keeping their rooms clean and showing good character and respect to others. There will be a special reward day at the end of the year for those students who have earned CPR qualification for 5 of the 7 periods during the school year.
Thanks so much for taking the time to find out what has been happening here at CCA. I will do my best to post pictures and videos as they become available. Be sure to check out the photos from Sushi night!
Blessings!
