Congratulations to staff and students for the completion of a great first week of school.  All students and all teachers have been on task and busy in the teaching/learning mode.

Members of the Board and administration are very encouraged by the large turn out for our annual beginning of school Foundation meeting.  This is further evidence that while the CA Family is smaller than at some times in the past, never has there been greater resolve to stick together and make this the best school year possible.

A special “Thank You” is extended to all parents, grandparents, staff, etc. who came out last Saturday for our “work day.” A tremendous amount of work was accomplished both inside and outside.  Many brought their own equipment and put in several hours in making our campus more attractive.  Most people present commented that Saturday was the best, most productive work day in recent years.

Congratulations to Coach Black and the volleyball team for beginning the inaugural year of volleyball at Chambers Academy.  While the game ended in a loss to a veteran EMCA team, our very young team showed great spirit and enthusiasm as well as surprising skill level for a start-up program.  The girls’ next contest will be hosting Cornerstone at 4:00 on Thursday.  Come out and support our newest athletic team.

The Chambers Academy/Springwood football rivalry will be renewed on Thursday at 7:00 on our field.  Both teams are looking to rebound from sub-par seasons last year.  Regardless of the past, this rivalry is heated, and the competition will be intense.  Come out and support Coach Allen and our Rebels as we kick-off the 2013 football season.

Remember that our PTO magazine drive is underway.  Turn in days are Thursday, 8/22/13, 8/29/13, and 9/5/13.  All PTO profits are used in the school for books, supplies, teacher needs, etc. Please support our magazine drive.  If you do not want or need magazines at your home, a list is being prepared of suggested magazines for our library.

Look ahead:
Wednesday, 8/28/13       School day Pictures, come dressed for the occasion.  These shots go in the yearbook.
Thursday, 8/29/13       Volleyball against SMCA at Chambers starting at 4:00
