CA GIVING DAY
For 12 hours on Thursday, November 12, we’re inviting alumni, parents, faculty, grandparents, and friends to invest in the vision of Christ Academy. Every gift, no matter its size, helps build a safe, vibrant campus where students are known, loved, and growing in Christ.
From 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, our community will come together for one exciting day of generosity, investing in the spaces, safety, and experiences that shape our students every single day.
This Giving Day, we’re focusing on two priorities that directly impact our students every single day: Safety + Campus Updates and Finalizing Phase II of The Learning Garden (previously referred to as the Early Education Outdoor Learning Center.)
Every gift moves us closer to completing significant, tangible improvements across our campus, and you get to choose where your dollars go to make CA even better for everyone.
There are PRIZES for our students and MATCHING DONATION CHALLENGES our students can receive to encourage giving. Watch our social media and website for announcements of winners throughout the day!
Look What You Built!
EARLY EDUCATION OUTDOOR LEARNING CENTER
Last spring, our CA family came together and gave generously toward a dream for our youngest Warriors. Thanks to you, our introduced as the Early Education Outdoor Learning Center, now named The Learning Garden, is now a place where our EE students explore, discover, and grow every day. We are so grateful for every gift that made this space possible! Read more about this space!
CAMPUS SAFETY INITIATIVES
Thanks to your generosity on last year’s Giving Day, we made meaningful progress toward a safer, more secure campus. We installed safety film on nearly all of our classroom windows and the windows and doors of the Blended Learning Center (BLC), as well as strengthened the BLC entry process to better control who comes in and out. Additionally, we rekeyed all exterior doors and added medical “go bags” to all classrooms and community spaces. Keeping our students and staff safe will always be one of our highest priorities, and we’re so grateful for every family, alum, and friend who helped make these updates possible. This year, we’re continuing that work, and we’d love for you to be a part of it!
GIVING DAY 26-27 Priorities
This year, we’re building on that momentum by focusing on the spaces and safeguards that support our students every day: Continuing Safety + Campus Updates and completing our Early Education Outdoor Learning Center. And once again, you get to choose where your gift goes.
-
Purchase the remaining age-appropriate play equipment
Add the finishing touches that make the space classroom-ready
-
Keeping our students and staff safe and secure is still one of our highest priorities. Last year’s Giving Day helped us take important steps forward, and this year we want to keep going. Your gift will help us:
Complete all remaining classrooms and offices with safety film on exterior windows
Upgrade door locks to strengthen lockdown procedures
Update Campus Signage: From the time you enter our driveway and while you’re visiting our campus, we want CA to feel easy to navigate. Updating our current signage allows guests and students to safely and confidently know where they are going. It also allows first responders to quickly identify key locations.
These upgrades build on recent improvements and ensure our campus remains a secure place to learn and thrive. Because of last school year’s Giving Day, all classrooms received emergency “go bags”, and our upgraded security check-in system allows us to monitor all visitors to campus.
Throughout the day, we’ll celebrate generosity with fun incentives and community-wide excitement, including:
Swag bag giveaways
Head of School for the day
Class parties
and MORE!
Plus, competitions and surprise drawings will be happening all day long, so every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference and gives you a chance to win.
Every Gift Builds Something Real
Last year, you helped build an outdoor classroom.

Together, we’re building a campus where every Warrior can learn, grow, and thrive.
