The 2012 Seniors and Mayfest group

On June 1, 2013 the 2012-2013 school year came to an end with an emotional graduation ceremony.  The Robert Shaffer gymnasium was filled with students, friends and family from various parts of the world.  Head of school, Cathy Lovato introduced the boarding school staff and faculty.  Graduating senior Richard Huang welcomed the guests with his Salutatorian address.  Following Valedictorian, Bella Wang gave a great speech to her fellow classmates.  Canyonville Christian Academy’s president, Doug Wead, was our commencement speaker and as usual, gave a motivating speech to our graduates.    The senior letters, read by Mrs. Stenberg and Mr. Lovato were emotional and caused a lot of people to cry.  Seniors took flowers to their parents or a faculty member as a letter of appreciation was read.  This was a great end to a great school year.  Congratulations to the class of 2013!!

Private boarding school Canyonville Christian Academy activities department decided to make the game of basketball a little more interesting. 

A group of donkeys were invited as special guests allowing our students to ride them while playing a game of basketball.  As the donkeys were brought in by their riders, shouts of laughter could be heard in the gymnasium as one of our students Serge Sandrali, laughing himself, tried to “guide” his donkey into center court.

Donkey basketball game at Canyonville Christian Academy

For about an hour and half, the girls challenged the boys to a basketball game played while trying to commandeer a stubborn donkey and make a basket from it’s back.  In the end, it was the Varsity boys basketball team, with their competitive edge that ended up winning the night’s game of fun donkey basketball.

The admissions department at Canyonville Christian Academy is hard at work processing the student applications that are arriving daily.  The latest update is that CCA will continue to accept applications on a “space available” basis.  Right now is still a good time to download your application from the Admissions page and send it in to our admissions office.  We have room for both boys and girls.  If you have any questions, please email admissions@canyonville.net or use our contact page.


Canyonville Christian Academy activity

Spring break flew by for Canyonville Christian Academy students and teachers.

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.

christian academy holds iron chef competition

An Iron Chef Competition was held this past Saturday in CCA’s gym to see which group of students could cook the best meal!

CCA Activities - Iron Chef Competition

Students teamed up with their peers and chose an adult mentor. Then, they planned out the menus for their three-course meals and went shopping together to buy the ingredients. Next, the judging panel assembled, which included two of our boys’ deans, Josh Botsford and Mike Stansberry, and two of our cooks. Finally, it was time to reveal the secret ingredient… cheese!

The students were given a variety of cheeses and at least one type had to be used in every course. They were given an allotted time for each course and were scored by the judges for creativity, plating, taste, and use of the secret ingredient.

dorm life at Canyonville Christian Academy, study time, bible study on Sunday nights, what do girls do?

Private school girls who live in the dorm gather together to learn how to build their character and community with one another. 

Every Sunday evening the girls at boarding school Canyonville Christian Academy, meet together with their deans and have a Bible Study. This Bible study addresses many of the questions and problems young girls face at this time in their lives.

Christian academy, private boarding school, living in the dormSome of the things the Bible study includes are in-depth discussions, personal evaluation quizzes, applicable character building steps and teachings, quality time with leaders, community with one another, affirmation of who they are, and encouragement to become even greater people.

The book we used this week is called “Head to Soul Makeover”, which seeks to teach girls to accept themselves for who they are by showing them their great worth.

 


Canyonville Christian Academy and the Harlem Globetrotters

Fun Activity with the Harlem Globetrotters

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.

Spirit Week ended with the Canyonville Christian Academy Pilots winning their last home basket ball game.  For the seniors here at the Christian Academy, it was a bitter sweet time since it was their last game in the Robert Shaffer gymnasium with faculty and friends cheering them on.

The student body voted for their favorite classmates for homecoming court who represented seven different countries.  During half time of the homecoming game, the princes and princesses walked out into the gym.  Cheers were echoed all through the gym.  Joe Chen was announced as King and Mafe Raad was crowned as the 2013 Homecoming Queen.  The whole homecoming court looked beautiful.
