Local sessions are being offered on Saturday, September 8 at St. John Evangelist, 600 Green Tree, Kohler from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm and Tuesday, September 18 at St. John Evangelist, 600 Green Tree, Kohler from 8:15 - 11:15 am. You must register on-line at www.archmil.org and indicate you are associated with Christ Child Academy. If you have not previously been trained, now is a great time to attend a session.

The Faye’s pizzas sale has begun! Faye’s Pizza orders and money are due Friday, September 21st. The pick-up date is Wednesday, October 10th with pick up at 2:00 – 3:30 pm in the gym. The money made on the pizza sale assists in covering the cost of bussing, field trips, Camp Y-Koda, and many more items. Your cooperation will assist in keeping your out-of-pocket expenses to a minimum. SELL! SELL! SELL!
This is also a great opportunity for families to get started on their 20 volunteer hours. We need parents and grandparents to help sort and organize the orders on Wednesday, October 10th from 1:00 – 2:00 pm. If you are available, please email or call/text Sarah Richter at sarahags05@yahoo.com or (920) 287-5552.
Picture Day
Mark your calendar; Picture Day is next Thursday, September 20th. Harmann Studios will be taking your child’s picture (no order form or money needed at that time). Harmann sends home a preview of two proofs; you choose one and return the order form with your payment. If need be, picture retake day is Wednesday, October 24th.
MAP Testing
MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) testing will begin Monday, September 24th and continue through Friday, September 28th. MAP is a computerized adaptive test which helps teachers, parents, and administrators improve learning for all students and make informed decisions to promote a child’s academic growth. All students in grades K-8 will be tested to track their academic growth. Please do not schedule any appointments for your children during this time. It is important that the students are in attendance and well-rested, so they can do their best on the tests. Thank you for your cooperation.
Thank You for the Donations!
Thank you to all the families that generously donated items to the school office and lunchroom. Your thoughtfullness is very much appreaciated!
Coats For Kids
The Christ Child Academy Student Service Council will once again be collecting coats for the Annual Coats for Kids Drive. Any gently used coats, hats, gloves, boots, or scarves can be dropped off in the barrel at the school’s main entrance, now through October 31st. What a great way to help those in our community and teach our children the goodness of giving. Thanks for your support!
Box Tops for Education
CCA can earn money from clipping Box Tops found on various products. When you buy items, simply clip the Box Top and bring it to CCA. The Box Tops are submitted, and our school receives a check which is used towards our activity fund. It’s another easy way for you to help the school by purchasing the products you already use! Enlist your family, friends and neighbors to collect the Box Tops, too.
