OPEN HOUSE AND CLEAN-UP DAY ARE NEXT WEEKEND
To prepare the building for our winter open house, an all-school clean-up day will be held on Saturday, January 21, starting at 9:00 a.m. With many hands, the work goes quickly. Please consider assisting in making sure the building looks great for our visitors at the January 22 open house. If you plan to come and help, please call the office and let Marilee Schneider know. In addition, please spread the word about the open house. You are our most effective form of publicity. An open house postcard is being sent to you with semester grades. Please pass it on to another family and encourage them to attend.

WATCH FOR RE-ENROLLMENT INFO
It's not too soon to begin thinking about the next school year! Within the next week, families of CA-Bloomington freshmen, sophomores, and juniors will be receiving information on re-enrollment for 2006-07. Re-enrollment forms should be returned with a $100.00 registration fee by March 1, 2006. After March 1, the registration fee increases to $125.00 for returning students. If you have any questions about registration for next year, feel free to contact Lynn Henry, Principal.

MOMS IN TOUCH CHANGES MEETING TIMES

MOMS IN TOUCH MOMENT
This past Tuesday we prayed about God being our Counselor. For our children we prayed that they would allow God and the Counselor (Spirit of Truth) to work in their lives to accomplish God's purpose for them (Philippians 2:13). If you have a moment you might pray the same for your child. -Debbie Heggemeier and Moms in Touch International
