Canefire Color Walk 2023

Aloha CLA Families,
Thank you for the amazing support that all of you have showed CLA over the past few years. The eruption of 2018 and the COVID Years were tumultuous times but the Lord provided insurmountable grace to successfully navigate through the treacherous waters. CLA’s history is a testimony to God’s gracious provision. At just the right time God provides the funds and the people to help accomplish the next step in our development.

CLA is ready to take the next step towards making our Lower Campus Facility fully operational. We have a serious need to provide more bathrooms down by the Fieldhouse and the Rosie O. We are in the development stages of this project. As all of you know, acquiring all the necessary plans for such a project is quite expensive. The budget for these plans comes in at just under $10,000.00. The proceeds for this yearʻs Canefire Color Walk will be used for the development plans for new bathrooms at the Fieldhouse and also the covering for the concrete slab. We are asking students to get people to sponsor them as they walk for one hour around a quarter-mile course. The theme for this year’s walk is “Walking to the Finish,” as we are trying to finish the area around the Fieldhouse to make it fully functional.  Please consider helping us raise the funds for this much needed addition to our facility.

Thank you and God bless.

In this week’s Parent Corner, we asked some Teens and Pre-Teens “What are your parents doing right?”, and “If you could give your parents advice on parenting, what would it be”. We explore those answers and highlight the importance of getting feedback from your kids.

Watch Canefire Chronicles – “Prayers of Power”

Premier: Friday, March 24 at 5:00 p.m. on the Canefire Production YouTube Channel. The Director’s Cut of Canefire Productions 2022 Project has finally been finished. Please help us reach our goal of 10,000 views so the project qualifies for one of the online streaming services.

“Jess, a high school senior close to graduation, deals with the reality of spiritual warfare as she struggles with her bitterness. Through the influence of some new “spiritual” friends, she realizes how ineffective she has become in the lives of her friends and the advancement of the Kingdom of God. Jess realizes that bitterness only hurts herself and it does allow all kinds of evil to begin to take root. She also is confronted with the amazing name of Jesus and how powerful his name can be when used in prayer. All it takes is one faithful prayer warrior to make a difference.”

Here’s this week’s Parent Corner. Today we’re going to talk about the importance of self care. Here are three areas where we believe we need the most attention when it comes to us taking care of ourselves.

Parent Corner

In today’s Parent Corner, we want to talk about showing favoritism. There’s a lot of reasons why we may show favoritism toward one child over another… or it’s perceived to be so. Let’s look at ways we can avoid favoritism and build intentional unique relationships with each of our children.
