Mr. Messer's Message

We have reached the end of the first quarter. This has been an amazing start to the school year at CHCA and we are excited about the remainder of the year. Our students have been engaged, focused and are showing more leadership. Chapel small groups in both the high school and the middle school are going well and I have enjoyed seeing our students interact with each other, lead out in the teaching and make new friends within their groups. As one teacher recently said to me, “the kids have a different vibe and seem to be more in tuned spiritually and academically”. Thank you for the support of your student, and our faculty and staff.

Next week is homecoming at Cottage Hill Christian Academy. After a teacher workday on Monday, the rest of the week will be filled with dress up days, a carnival, our 1st WNSP game day, pep rallies, a parade, and finally the Friday football game on October 19. Congratulations to each of the young ladies who were chosen as part of the CHCA Homecoming Court. We look forward to recognizing you at half time of the game. We will also have Senior Night on the 19th and we look forward to recognizing members of the Class of 2019 who participate in band, cheer, cross-country, and football. See more details of homecoming below in this Warrior Express. We hope to see all of you participating in our homecoming activities.

God Bless and Go Warriors!
