If there is a method of transportation that your child is not permitted to take (drive home with someone else, etc.), please inform the High School Office at x256. Student drivers/septa/ walkers are dismissed as soon as possible to ensure their safety. As surrounding school districts close mid-day, they will send their buses to pick up our students.

5 7th Annual School-Wide Adopt-A-Family Dear Parents, Calvary Christian Academy s Student Government is providing an opportunity for the Elementary and High School students to work together to bless the less fortunate during the Christmas season. CCA will be partnering with Calvary Chapel to acquire gifts to further the reach of the Adopt-A-Family ministry. We will be collecting Toys & Toiletries then wrapping them together. Your student can help bless a family in need by purchasing any new toy or toiletry, (toiletry items include bath sets, socks, pajamas, slippers, wallets, sweatshirts etc ) then sending it into school on or before Friday, December 9, 2011 (gift cards and donations are also welcome). You can base your gift on items your or your child would like to receive. During the week of the December 12th we will have the elementary students pair up with the high school students to wrap all the donated gifts before we hand them to the church's Adopt-A-Family ministry. We look forward to another opportunity to work along side our student body to bless those in need. Thank you in advance for your participation. Blessings, CCA Administration & Student Government If you can attach a gift receipt with your purchase that would be great, Thanks!
