Roadside
Thank you for your patience in navigating the construction and traffic delays. We appreciate our community and your time and will work to keep you updated in the coming weeks and months, as there are many moving pieces. As you may have noticed, new telephone poles are now in place to accommodate the Wyoga Lake Road expansion project beginning later this spring. Last week was an expedited project to wire the new polls. We are in close communication with the city regarding all the facets of this project, while also preparing for a project of our own in May. It is our desire to keep you informed as you plan for your journey here each day.
Thanks again for your patience, and please be on the lookout for an email with additional information coming soon.
You can also expect updates in the Royal Weekly as we have them to share with you.
Local and Global Outreach Project – April 16-30
At CVCA, we are committed to looking beyond our school walls to serve others with both a local and global mindset, and each year look for intentional ways to support ministry partners. From April 16 to 30, we invite our students and staff to “dive in” and support the work God is doing in Ohio and around the world. By sacrificing small “favorite treats” for two weeks, we can make a significant collective impact for these ministries:
- Item Donations: APS, Haven of Rest, and Urban Vision
- Donated Funds: Arise, Nashville Mission Trip, and MGM (Dominican Republic)
How to Participate:
- Direct Giving: To hit our school-wide goal, we are asking every student to donate $5 per week for two weeks. You can donate HERE quickly and easily.
- Grade-Level Donation Challenges: Each grade has been designated specific items to donate (see list below). You can start bringing these items to school on April 20.
As an incentive to help support these ministries, we are excited to offer dress-down days:
- $5,000 and 600 items = 5 dress-down days
- $4,000 and 500 items = 4 dress-down days
- $3,000 and 400 items = 3 dress down days
- $2,000 and 300 items = 2 dress-down days
- $1,000 and 200 items = 1 dress-down day
