CLAS Weekly Update

This week, we are excited to share a special collection of moments from our CLAS families!

From vacation adventures and schooling on trains to staying on campus and making the most of one-on-one learning, these photos beautifully capture the love of family, education, and community.

A huge thank you to all the parents who participated in this new twist to our newsletter—highlighting the love theme not only within our families but also in our school.

These shared moments remind us that learning happens everywhere, whether it’s in a classroom, on a journey, or simply in the warmth of a loved one’s presence.

Enjoy this special edition filled with smiles, creativity, and heartwarming experiences! 💕📸

Last week, Maximus was our only student on campus, and what a special time it was! With focused one-on-one instruction, he dedicated himself to his reading practice and did an amazing job! 📖👏 His hard work and determination truly stood out.

One of the sweetest moments was seeing Maximus cuddled up with his favorite stuffed toy, Sparkie, while reading. 🧸📚 It was a heartwarming sight—proving that the best reading buddies come in all shapes and sizes!

But it wasn’t all just academics—Maximus also enjoyed some fun playtime with his dad and Danial! ⚽🏀 From interactive learning to friendly games, this week was filled with laughter, learning, and unforgettable moments.

A big shoutout to Maximus for making the most of his time at CLAS last week! 🎉💙

Learning happens everywhere, and the Dixon Family has shared a wonderful example of this in action—"School Train Style"!

📸 Instead of a traditional classroom setting, their learning continued on the go—train style! With books open, pencils in hand, and smiles all around, their journey became a moving classroom experience. This is a great reminder that education isn’t limited to four walls—it can happen anywhere!

Thank you to the Dixon Family for sharing this special moment.

Aria and Liv had a wonderful time visiting a park full of cats! 🐱💛 They were able to pet, cuddle, and shower love on their new furry friends. From playful ginger kitties to cozy black cats lounging on benches, this was truly a dream come true for any animal lover!

Thank you to the Hendrickson Family for sharing this heartwarming moment.

The Yamazaki Family had an unforgettable cultural experience, traveling through history, art, and—of course—a little friendly competition! 🏆

From standing in awe before Michelangelo’s David to exploring breathtaking galleries, they embraced every moment of artistic discovery. But the highlight? A hilarious and intense game of Rock, Paper, Scissors! ✊✋✌️ Whether in front of world-famous sculptures or over a delicious ice cream treat, this game added a fun and playful twist to their journey!

Thank you to the Yamazaki Family for sharing this precious moment.

We are excited to welcome Liam Amoida to Christian LIFE Academy Stuttgart for a one-week trial visit! Liam will be joining our first-grade class, and if all goes well, he will officially become part of our CLAS family soon.

We also extend a warm welcome to his mother, Michelle, as they explore our school community. Let’s make Liam feel at home and show him the love and support that makes CLAS special!

We are thrilled to introduce a fun and motivating reward system to encourage our students to meet their academic goals!

As we approach the third quarter milestone, students who complete 75% of their CCO by March 26 will earn CLAS Play Money 💰—a special currency they can use for exciting privileges!

🎉 What Can Students Do with Their Play Money?

• Purchase a day of working on their passion (e.g., writing their book with one-on-one support, dedicating time to their special project).
• Buy items at the CLAS Store 🛍️.
• Participate in an auction 🎟️ on a special celebration day after the third quarter!

To make this experience even more exciting, we invite parents to donate items for the auction or CLAS Store. We need your ideas and support! If you have gently used toys, books, or items that your child no longer needs but other students may enjoy, we would love to include them.

Let’s work together to make this a rewarding and joyful experience for our students! Thank you for your support and generosity.

This week at CLAS, we are focusing on the virtue of Initiative. Through Bible stories like Nehemiah rebuilding the wall, Baby Moses being hidden, and Jesus feeding the 5,000, our students are learning that initiative means recognizing a need and taking action—without waiting for someone else to do it.

We encourage you to continue the conversation at home! Ask your child:

• What’s something you see that needs to be done at home? How can you take action?
• How can we show initiative in helping others, just like Jesus and His disciples did?
• What happens when we do what we can and trust God to do the rest?

By discussing these ideas together, we can help our children develop a heart of responsibility, service, and faith. Let’s guide them in seeing opportunities to help and being bold in their actions, just as Christ teaches us.

We are excited to share that our Christian LIFE Academy Stuttgart website is currently being updated!

As we continue making gradual improvements, our goal is to align with the accreditation criteria, ensuring that our online presence reflects the heart and mission of CLAS.

Since this is a work in progress, we appreciate your patience and support as we refine and enhance the website to better serve our students, families, and community.

📢 We Need Your Help!
One way you can support CLAS is by leaving a Facebook review ⭐ about your experience with our school. Your feedback will not only help others learn about our unique community but also strengthen our reputation as we move forward in the accreditation process.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us! Your encouragement, prayers, and support mean so much.

Just a little reminder that we are celebrating Olesia’s Gender Reveal on Friday, February 28th, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM! 🎀💙
