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.

We are in need of 5 volunteers to represent CAL-Southwest and help judge the spelling bee at Whitefield Academy on February 22, 2019. Our students will not be permitted to participate without volunteers. Please contact Jenelle Cummings at [email protected] if you would like more information about possibly volunteering as the deadline is fast approaching.

Packets were sent home the week of November 5, for Texas Roadhouse gift card orders. These gift cards make great Christmas gifts! Please read the handouts enclosed and attached to the packet envelope for full details. Order forms and payments must be turned in by Monday, December 4, to ensure that all gift cards are distributed before Christmas break. Please support our PTO through this fundraiser!

We are having a kindergarten-8th grade art show on Thursday, November 15, and would love to have you there! Please click here for details. Ask your child ahead of time what they made or maybe about the artist we studied for our projects this year. They've been working so hard! 

If you have questions, feel free to email Ann Lundy Games, Art teacher, at [email protected]. 

Please make sure your calendars are marked for Thursday, December 13, at 7 p.m. for our Christmas program. The program will feature our 4-year-old junior academy (preschool) students, elementary music students, the 3rd grade classes acting out the Christmas story and the middle school Spiritual Life Praise Team.  

Attendance is a requirement for kindergarten-5th grade students as stated in the Elementary Family Handbook.  

Students must be in their designated areas by 6:40 p.m. Students may wear a nice outfit instead of school uniforms, but please keep in mind dress code rules (no jeans allowed) and that they will be sitting down on the risers during portions of the program. Please contact Mrs. Stivers at [email protected] if you have any questions. 

Our Archery season is coming up. If you want your child to participate, please click here to print/complete the KHSAA middle school physical form and return it no later than Wednesday, October 24. It is very important that these forms are turned in on time because this is how we will generate our rosters and those who turn them in late may not be able to participate. We will have a parent meeting on Friday, November 2, for those who have turned in their physical forms.
