CCA Teachers and Staff Favorite Things






Christmas Greetings CCA Families,
We are so thankful to be abundantly blessed by an amazing group of teachers, staff, and administrators at CCA this year.  During this special Christmas season, many of you choose to show your gratitude to those who have been a blessing to you and your family.   In order to give you a little insight into what may bless the specific teachers and staff that work directly with your child(ren), PTF has compiled a list of CCA Teachers and Staff Favorite Things.  Feel free to browse the lists, but please do not feel obligated, and ultimately give as you feel led.  Any act of gratitude, small or large, is always greatly appreciated and treasured. 
Thank You and Merry Christmas,
CCA PTF
