More information will be coming home next week about how you can order books online, send in money, and use the new “E-Wallet” feature. The CLA Book Fair helps support the CLA Library and all proceeds go back to our school.
PTA at CLA
Have you joined the CLA PTA yet?? If not, it’s not too late!! You can join by signing up online or by sending in a PTA Registration form and money. We are planning to have our first PTA meeting in November.
We are looking for additional parent volunteers to join the PTA Leadership team. You do not have to have any PTA experience to join and take a leadership role. There is coaching and support available. CLA’s PTA is in need of a few more volunteers to help organize student events and parent volunteer opportunities at CLA.
If you are interested in taking on a leadership role in the PTA or just signing up to be a PTA member, please contact Matt Warren (warrenm@ccsd15.net).
