Class with Highest Sales – Mrs. Derry’s 2nd Grade Class ($6,090.00): Mrs. Derry will receive a $50 Staples gift card

Every child who donated a shoebox gift had their name put in a drawing for a free ticket to Newport Aquarium! Winners were drawn from preschool, elementary and middle school. The number of entries for a child’s name equaled the number of shoeboxes that the child turned in (ex. 3 shoebox gifts equals 3 times entered in the drawing). Winners were announced at our Christmas Chapel Service on December 20.

Congratulations to the following students who will receive their ticket in January:

Preschool: Kylar Bartley and Stella Moody

Elementary School: Shane Black, Zachary Dennison, Jett Jones and Matthew Morgan

Middle School: Trey Butler and Kayla Threets

Join our parent prayer group of passionate parents who meet together each week on Fridays to seek God’s heart for CAL-Southwest as we pray into the life of this school.

In the past several years since our group formed, we have seen many prayers answered and God move in powerful ways in the lives of students, teachers and families.

Whatever the need, we bring it to our Heavenly Father. We also praise the Lord for the many ways He is actively at work and already doing far above what we could ever expect. So please join us on Friday mornings in the Media Center from 8:20 – 9:20 a.m. Our desire is to see God glorified! If you are interested, please email Tanya Killion at [email protected].

We will be having our combined Christmas chapel service for all students in 4-year-old classes through 8th grades on Thursday, December 20, from 9-10 a.m. Parents and grandparents are invited to attend this special service as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. The service will be held in the sanctuary at Southeast Christian Church next door. Parents, you may enter the sanctuary for seating beginning at 8:45 a.m. and you will be able to sit with your child and their class. 

THANK YOU for your generosity and support of this ministry! Please be in prayer for our shoe boxes as they begin their journey to the children that will receive them! 

Now to HIM who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. – Ephesians 3:20-21

We exceeded our campus goal of 350 shoe box gifts for Operation Christmas Child and collected 405 boxes this morning!

Our collection service and students are scheduled to be featured tonight on WLKY-32 during a portion of their evening broadcast between 5-6:30 p.m. (be aware that any story is subject to being pre-empted). Any coverage should also be shared on their website in the next few days.

In addition, WHAS-11 broadcast Great Day Live! was here this morning for our collection service. We are hopeful that their coverage will be placed on their website in the next few days as well. 

Thank you to everyone who gave so generously to the ministry of Operation Christmas Child! Because of your gifts, 405 children will have the opportunity to hear the saving message of God's love for all of us and the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ.
