High School News:
Students, it's cold out there. In light of the particularly cold temperatures we are going to have a temporary expansion of the dress code to help you stay warm. We prefer to see you fully in uniform, but if you are out of long uniform pants and need to wear a pair of navy sweatpants, those will be allowed (note, navy only) through the end of next week. With a long sleeve shirt under your uniform shirt and the CCA sweatshirt on top of that you should be warm enough, but if you need to wear a heavier jacket to stay warm, that will also be allowed through the end of next week. Please note that apart from these two temporary exceptions the rest of the dress code is to be fully adhered to as always. But we want to help you stay warm, and these are a couple of temporary exceptions to help you do that.
Any girls, grades 10-12, interested in babysitting or being a part of the babysitting ministry, please come to a luncheon TODAY in Mrs. Perrin's room 33021. And please bring a lunch.

On This Day in History
January 8, 1956: Missionaries Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Roger Youderian, Ed McCully, and Pete Fleming are killed by Ecuadorean Indians they sought to evangelize. The story of the missionaries and their deaths along the Curaray River was publicized by Elliot's widow, Elizabeth, in Through Gates of Splendor, published the following year.
The Word of God for the Day
Proverbs 1:10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them.
The Official CCA Bad Joke of the Day
Maurice: How did you enjoy your drive in the country?
Malcolm: I had a bad experience. I was driving along a winding road when a pretty woman driving in the opposite direction stuck her head out her window and yelled, "Pig!"
Maurice: Were you insulted?
Malcolm: Of course. I had half a mind to turn the car around and go after her so I could call her a name!
Maurice: Why didn't you?
Malcolm: Because when I drove around the next bend I crashed into a pig.
We want to express our appreciation to our sources and we encourage you to consider supporting them in some way.
