                              NAME OUR CLS FALCON MASCOT!

 

 

 

 

 

Name the Falcon contest! Our Falcon mascot needs a name – and YOU could be the one who names it! See the flyer sent home today for an entry form. Every student may enter up to 2 names by Wednesday, January 16. The top 3 names will be announced Friday, January 18 at our pep rally. Students will then be able to go to our website to vote for their favorite. The winning name will be announced at the home basketball games Tuesday, January 22! The winning family will receive a CLS Athletic prize pack, including free admission to home games through the 2013-14 school year!

 

       HAPPY NEW YEAR AND WELCOME BACK TO CLS!

     The beginning of a new year is exciting. The second semester at CLS will bring successes and new challenges. Thank you for your partnership in education and your support of the Reach Out program. May God continue to bless you and your families!

CLS Chapel Offerings  January 9 – February 13

Chapel offerings Jan 9 – Feb 13 will be donated to Heifer International.  Heifer International places animals in communities around the world, providing a reliable source of food and income.  Our goal is to collect enough to buy a water buffalo ($250) and a llama ($150).   

A water buffalo will provide families in need with milk that can transform malnourished children. Plus, families with water buffalos can often plant four times more crops when they can sow fields in days that once took weeks to plant by hand.  It all adds up to better nutrition, and more income for struggling families to put toward clothing, medicines and education.

A llama will provide a struggling family with a lifetime of opportunities.  Heifer International provides llamas to families living at high altitudes in the Andes Mountains of South America where no other animals can withstand the harsh conditions.  Their wool is prized around the world for being denser, warmer and softer than sheep wool — making it possible for families to earn a steady living by either selling the wool or making clothes and blankets.

Each student will bring home a cardboard bank to collect coins.  When the bank is full, return it to school.  Banks may be returned any day up to February 13.  You can learn more about Heifer International by visiting their website: 

   

Llama

A llama will provide a struggling family with a lifetime of opportunities.

Heifer International provides llamas and their close cousins, the alpaca, to families living at high altitudes in the Andes Mountains of South America where no other animals can withstand the harsh conditions.

Their wool is prized around the world for being denser, warmer and softer than sheep wool — making it possible for our partner families to earn a steady living by either selling the wool or making clothes and blankets. Help a family with the gift of a llama.

Water Buffalo

Give the gift of a water buffalo from Heifer International.

These gentle giants provide families in need with milk that can transform malnourished children. Plus, families with water buffalos can often plant four times more crops when they can sow fields in days that once took weeks to plant by hand.

It all adds up to better nutrition, and more income for struggling families to put toward clothing, medicines and education.
