Thanks to all who came out to donate on May 16th!  Hope you enjoy your new hoodies!  We did NOT make our goal for this drive - we need 16 more donors by June 30th.  Please go to a LifeSource center and donate using our CLA code of "AH91" please wait until after May 16th if possible so the credit  goes toward the May 16th drive.  We again need to get 50 donors to receive another $250.  Please let Nurse Kramer know when you have gone so she can make sure we get credit for your effort.  Click here to find a LifeSource Center closest to you.

  Wish List


This is a program to help the CLA teachers and coaches acquire items that they want/need in their classrooms or for their teams.

  • These are items that the teachers and coaches would love to have to help our children and are generally bought out of your personal monies. This program is OPTIONAL and there is no obligation to purchase anything on these lists.

  • We thought having an ongoing wish list online would be helpful for those who like to donate items, give gifts, or have access to these items around their home or office. These are items the teachers or coaches would love to have to help in their classroom or for their teams, but cannot buy out of their budgets. Sometimes we have old bookshelves, books, etc. that would be great for a classroom, but we don't think to ask them if they could use it and instead call a charity to pick them up. If you don’t see your teacher’s name on the list, please feel free to ask your teacher to fill out a Wish List.

  • We know that the teachers appreciate anything and everything we can do for them. If you want to participate in this Wish List just purchase something for any teacher and give it to them. They will be thrilled! Thank you for your anticipated participation in helping the Teachers and Coaches at CLA.
