Dear CLA Families,
Next week CLA will be celebrating our annual Read-O-Rama week. In all of our programs and classrooms, students will engage in fun activities to promote the joy of reading. Each day will have a different theme and activity planned for students at school and at home with their families. We hope your students enjoy this year’s Read-O-Rama Week and you are able to have some fun reading at home as well!
We also have our annual OPEN HOUSE event in the evening on Wednesday, March 1st. We hope everyone is able to join. Please see specific times below for your child's session/program.
