The Culture and Climate Committee is currently exploring options for a CCA Service Day this spring. If you have a contact or established relationship with a charitable organization, senior care facilities, or other cause, please contact committee chair Tahlia Sayers with the details.

The purpose of the Culture and Climate Committee is to foster a safe and healthy school culture and climate reflective of the CCA Values; by providing clear communication, promoting engagement in the community, and advocating for social and academic excellence for all students.

If you have a community contact and/or are interested in joining the committee, please contact Tahlia Sayers at tsayers@cherrycreekacademy.org.

CCA is continuing our partnership with Cherry Creek School District's Food and Nutrition services to bring a quality and nutritious breakfast and lunch to our CCA students. For more information, attached is a link to the CCSD Food and Nutrition Program Website.

MySchoolApps is the fast and secure way to apply for free and reduced meals online. While CCSD is providing free breakfast and lunch to students through December, this benefit has not been confirmed for 2026.

It’s quick, confidential, and essential for your child’s access to services and programs.
