CCA Eagle Newsletter
We are excited to share that our new recess equipment is nearly fully installed, though the accompanying turf project has experienced some contractor delays. Fortunately, the turf crew was in working hard this weekend, and installation is now actively underway! This progress brings us closer to a completely woodchip-free play area and a brand-new turf field featuring a state-of-the-art cushioning system rather than traditional black rubber pellets. While we wait for the completed sections to be inspected and approved for safe use, students will continue having recess in the front lot and gym.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, appreciate your continued patience, and are incredibly excited to have this one-of-a-kind project finished for our students soon!
Mark your calendars for Friday, September 4, 2026 – it’s nearly time for one of CCA’s traditions: Fly Like an Eagle (FLAE) Day!
Fly Like an Eagle (FLAE) Day is Almost Here!
FLAE Day is organized to start the school year off by creating connection through teamwork and collaboration! Students will spend the afternoon participating in team-building activities, outdoor games, and hands-on stations that bring these values to life.
We need your help to make it happen!
Whether you can volunteer your time or donate supplies, your support makes a big difference. Remember, donations count towards your family's volunteer hours! You can log 1 hour for every $20 spent.
Donations are needed by Friday, August 28, so if you're able to contribute, we’d be so grateful if you could purchase items soon.
Thank you for helping us make this event a success; we couldn’t do it without you!
Have questions about FLAE Day or the committee? Want to join us? We'd love that! Email us at ptoFLAE@cherrycreekacademy.org or drop in to our monthly meetings. Our next meeting is this Wednesday, August 19 at 2:15pm at CCA.
The Fly Like an Eagle Committee strives to inspire a connected and compassionate community. By uniting parents, staff, and students, we aim to create meaningful experiences that celebrate our Eagle Honor Traits and foster a culture of kindness, service, and well-being.
Friday, August 21 at 5:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Come celebrate the new school year! All CCA students, family members, and friends are invited to join us for an evening of games, food, prizes, and school spirit. It’s the perfect way to unwind and connect with our community after the first few weeks of school.
A Quick Note on the Turf: The carnival is officially ON, whether the field turf is complete or not! Your PTO is working hard behind the scenes and has a great plan in place to ensure the fun goes on either way.
Important Details for the Night:
Supervision: All students must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the carnival.
Tickets & Wristbands: No RSVP is needed! Courtesy of the PTO Giving Circle, each child in a CCA student's immediate family will receive a wristband and 10 free tickets. Additional tickets are available for purchase.
Friends & Extended Family: Every participating child MUST have a wristband. Additional children outside of immediate CCA families are welcome and can purchase a wristband for $9.00 each.
