Tammy Rosenfeldt

This week's Beacons of the Week are Mrs. Conn's grade 7 English Composition students, who recently put their business writing skills to work in the real world by identifying businesses and writing formal letters, asking them to contribute to our Annual Celebration Auction. They did a phenomenal job, and many businesses responded generously, contributing nearly $6,000 in the form of gift cards, services, tickets, and other tangible items! Learning beyond the classroom walls while making a difference is what CHCA is all about! 


Tammy Rosenfeldt

Word-of-mouth is the number one reason new families come to CHCA. There are lots of ways we can share our CHCA experience with friends and families. (1) invite them to our upcoming Open House on 02/24/18 from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. (2) like CHCA on Facebook and give us a great review! (3) give us great reviews on other sites such as Google and Niche. (4) refer someone you think would be a great fit for CHCA. Because you referred them, we waive the application fee if they choose to apply. If they enroll a student and list you as their referral at time of enrollment, you receive a $500 tuition credit on your '18-'19 tuition bill! Learn more on our shareCHCA page.
