CONGRATULATIONS 8TH GRADERS - YOU ARE DONE - FINISHED - AND OFF TO A NEW BEGINNING !!!!
I wish you the very best as you venture into High School and whether it be here at the Crystal Cathedral or another High School - may you "Pay it Forward" every chance you get. I pray that the opportunity you have had to be in a Christian School will always remind you that you are "You are blessed to be a blessing". Take the gifts you have received from being at CCA out to those God puts in your paths to bless, as you journey on in life.
Sincerely, Ms. Tamble
8th GRADE PARENTS - Please ask your student for the BRIGHT ORANGE paper that was passed out today in Homeroom class that gives you the "scoop" on Graduation. It is very important as it tells the times and instructions for this special event. I look forward to meeting you at the Graducation if I have not had the chance yet. PLEASE do come up to me and introduce yourself. It has been my pleasure to have your students these past few months!
7th GRADE:
Please turn in your book report (due today) if you have not already. We have class on Monday and Tuesday, and Knott's Berry Farm on Wednesday. You are almost an 8th grader - just a few more days!!!! Thank you for being a wonderful class for me these past few months!
Sincerely, Ms. Tamble

Please keep my son Chris in your prayers as he heads off to Iraq this Memorial day weekend as well.
AMERICAN HISTORY - "Living History" presentations on Tuesday. Please present "in character" and with appropriate props. Rehearse your presentations so you can present looking at your audience rather than your notes. Make 2 copies of your typed speech, and watch the "um's" and "yeah's" so you sound professional in your presentation! Have fun presenting "in character"!
