The last month of school for the 2012-2013 year has finally arrived. The Senior class had a fun trip to San Francisco and to Six Flags in Vallejo, California. Some of these seniors, like Richard and Arthur Huang pictured here, have been at CCA all 4 years. We will really miss all of our seniors as they move on to good universities throughout America and other parts of the world.
We hope to see both alumni and parents at graduation on June 1, 2013!

Everyone had a good time going different places and doing different things. This year, there were two separate trips. One large group flew to Los Angeles and enjoyed places like Disneyland, California Adventure, food, shopping, the beach, etc. Another group enjoyed a quieter time at Shelter Cove in Humboldt County, California which was relaxing and enjoying home cooked meals by Mrs. Botsford and Ms. DeLisle and the beautiful black sands beach. They then drove through the California wine country down Hwy. 101 to go to Six Flags theme park near San Francisco, California.
Students are now back and ready for the final two months of school.
We start April off with “Spiritual Emphasis Week” with former teacher Dave Nickodemus as our guest speaker. He was always a favorite teacher for many students and will surely have a lot to say to our students.

The weather is warming up with a lot more sunny days here in Oregon. Track season has started here at this boarding school and these high school students are getting into competitive condition every day after school. Tennis players are also working hard on the tennis courts to see how far they can make it this season.
For spring break, many of our students are flying to Los Angeles to go to Disney Land, California Adventure, the beach and other area attractions. I’m sure they will go to a mall or two for some serious shopping!

Friday February 22nd, students, teachers and admin of Canyonville Christian Academy high school went to Matthew Knight Arena at University of Oregon in Eugene to watch a lively, talented exhibition game with the world famous Harlem Globetrotters.
It was a lot of fun to watch the amazing skills of the Globetrotters. They were funny and had us laughing with their antics and we were awed by their moves and throws with a basketball. As a special treat, the whole boarding school was invited down to the center court where the Oregon Ducks play their home games. The students of CCA got to meet the Globetrotters and take photos. After this event, we all headed over to Skateworld for a night of roller skating.
Homecoming Weekend at Canyonville Christian Academy starts out the month of February!
To prepare for Homecoming Weekend, the classes compete against each other during Spirit week to show their spirit. The week’s competitions include Pajama Day, Nerd Day, Color Day, 70′s & 80′s Day and Blue & Gold. Teachers especially loved 2 days of “hush buttons” where girls wore buttons that could be “stolen” by boys who made them talk and vice versa. As of this post, it’s a close race to see which class is in the lead.

On February 6, U.S. Olympic javelin thrower Cyrus Hostetler spoke to Canyonville Christian Academy’s student body.
Hostetler (272.10 personal best throw) is a 2-time Pac-12 champion, a Silver medalist at the 2011 Pan-American Games, and competed at the 2012 London Olympic Games. His story was a powerful testimony about perseverance. CCA students responded very well and surrounded Cyrus afterwards for autographs and photo opportunities. His testimony encouraged some students to try out for track this season.
2013 has arrived at Canyonville Christian Academy and students are back from Christmas break ready to finish their first semester strong!
The basketball teams started their season well, and upon returning here after the break, are continuing to practice and ready to play hard for the rest of this season! Cheerleaders are also continuing to train, cheering for the Pilots, while preparing to compete against other cheerleading squads from all across Oregon.

Coaches Mike Stansberry and Eric Payne pose with the 2012 District Championship trophy for the Canyonville Christian Academy soccer season. We are all so proud of our coaches and the CCA Pilots soccer team.
Canyonville Christian Academy’s soccer team played their best-ever season with a one-goal loss to Delphian School in the opening round of the OSAA state playoffs.
The 2012 Pilots posted an incredible 8-2 season record, won the district championship, and gave up just seven goals for the season.
Canyonville Christian Academy’s seminar class attended a Portland Opera Performance of Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” on November 8th. Approximately 2,000 people were present for the event held at Keller Auditorium in downtown Portland.
This 3 1/2 hour work is considered to be among the very greatest operas of all time and was prominately featured in the Academy Award winning film “Amadeus”.
Seminar class includes the goal of attending a number of cultural and artistic events each school year. Next up for the students in this course is an NFL football game in Seattle, Washington.
The Christian Academy sent 3 classes to watch the world renown ‘Cirque du Soleil’ as the famous troop stopped in Eugene, Oregon for a 4 night showing of Quidam!
The school’s seminar class and both French I and French II classes along with teachers and several other attendee’s boarded a bus Sunday afternoon to travel the 2 hour trip up to Eugene. The students and the adults were fascinated during the 2 hour plus performance as the performers entertained the crowd of 1,000+ people that came to watch.
Some of the students had seen the Cirque du Soleil in a previous event but most had not and were thrilled to have gone! Some comments of the students were how they were amazed at the disciplined performers, others remarked how exciting it was with so much going on at all times, and yet others talked about the humor involved in different scenes and how everything was performed so smoothly!
All in all the students AND the adults had a GREAT time! The classes are looking forward with excitement to the Cirque du Soliel 3D movie ‘Worlds Away‘ coming out in December!
