Celebrating our First Super Improvers!
We are excited to celebrate our first two students to level up in our Super Improvers Incentive Program for students in grades 2–5 at CCA! Congratulations to 2nd grader Lilly Polson (left) and 4th grader McKenna Deteau (right), who have both moved from Page to Squire...our very first students to reach a new level this year!
The Super Improvers Program is designed to encourage students to recognize that improvement comes through effort, perseverance, and a willingness to grow. Rather than focusing solely on grades or academic achievement, the program celebrates students for making positive improvements in areas such as academics, behavior, work habits, responsibility, and character. Students work toward their individual goals and earn recognition as they demonstrate growth.
At CCA, we have given the program a special Crusader twist! Each level is connected to our Crusader theme, creating a fun journey for students as they work their way toward the highest honor. Students begin as a Page and can progress through the following levels:
Page → Squire → Sentinel → Herald → Archer → Champion → Knight → Warrior → Guardian → Crusader
We believe that growth extends far beyond the classroom and want our students to grow in character and in their walk with Christ. As students work toward each new level, we hope they learn that true success isn't simply about reaching the next title but is about becoming the best version of themselves and honoring God through their effort and growth.
Congratulations, Lilly and McKenna, on being our first Super Improvers to level up! We can't wait to see who will be next to advance on the road to Crusader!
