NJHS is excited to announce a school-wide partnership with the Food Bank of the Rockies! We are kicking off a fun, friendly grade-level competition to collect food donations and help fight hunger right here in our community.

🏆 The Challenge: Compete for a Free Dress Day!

This isn't just about giving back—it’s about winning! Every grade level will compete against each other to collect the most pounds of non-perishable food. The grade that collects the most total pounds of food will win a Free Dress Day in December!

Donations accepted from Monday, November 17 through Friday, November 21.

Our next CCA Connections event is dedicated to Student Health and Wellness. This is a great opportunity for parents to connect directly with CCA's school nurse, Alex Hare.

Nurse Alex will share vital information on:

• Cold and Flu Prevention: Strategies to keep germs at bay at home and school.
  
• What's Going Around: Understanding current health trends in our community.
  
• Healthy Habits: Simple ways to support your student's long-term health.
  
• Q&A Session: Get answers to your specific health and safety questions.

Mrs. MacFarland is requesting the help of parent volunteers to assist with hanging the performance curtain (pipe and drapes) and the lights for the Winter Music Festival.

Please sign up below if you are interested in assisting on Wednesday, December 10th form 2:45-4:00pm.

The holiday season can bring extra joy, but we also know it can bring added stress, especially when it comes to providing food for your family.

If your family is in need of support during the holidays, please know that our community is here to help. To learn more about the resources available and to discuss your needs privately, please contact Lauren Sullivan at lsullivan@cherrycreekacademy.org. Your request will be handled with privacy and care.

Please don't hesitate to reach out—we want to ensure every family in our community has a joyful holiday season!

Do you know an Eagle who is making a difference through community service, volunteering, or civic engagement outside of school hours? We want to celebrate them!

We're launching a new feature, Eagles in the Community on TVs throughout CCA to feature students who are dedicating their time and talents to their community.

Please take a moment to nominate a student and share their story with us. This is a great opportunity to highlight the incredible character and commitment of our students.

The November Board Meeting is this Tuesday, November 18 at 6:00pm. You can join in person at CCA or virtually on Google Meet.

We are committed to keeping our community well-informed. Please read these important updates from our Town Hall and Board of Directors Meeting on October 7. Highlights include committee and leadership goals for 2025-2026 and upcoming meeting dates. We encourage you to read through the summary to stay up-to-date on our progress and plans.

Join us this Friday, November 21 at 8:15am in the Innovation Space for coffee, donuts and updates from the PTO and CCA leadership groups. Used Uniforms will be available to shop after the meeting.

Please note, PTO will not be meeting in December.
