Peter Ha and Precious Gift Abauesu were picked by their fellow students as the Ideal Boy and Ideal Girl for the 2013-14 school year. The winners are from, respectively, South Korea and Rwanda. The awards were presented the night before graduation as part of the Mayfest program. Honoring the top CCA boy and girl of the year was a tradition that began in the mid-1940s – nearly 70 years ago. Congratulation Peter and Precious!

Sunday Morn Welcome Service

This weekend was Welcome Weekend for private school Canyonville Christian Academy. With weary travelers arriving all weekend, some having traveled for over 19 hours, the weekend was mixed with friends reuniting, new friends meeting, drivers picking up boarding students from the three main airports in Oregon, deans getting tired travelers to their rooms to sleep and cooks busy getting food ready. Saturday, tired students were greeted with a barbeque outside, and some very helpful staff members. Sunday started with an outdoor church service with Jim and Cori Burkhert leading in 2 songs of praise, also helping was alumni from last year – Hyunil Yoo and Sohyun Ji both from South Korea. This was followed by Noel Schaak speaking, encouraging, instructing and welcoming students back for a new year of school and was followed by another barbeque meal. What a wonderful joy to walk around the campus and enjoying meeting people from over 12 countries right in your own school! The school year 2010-2011 has now begun.

This weekend starts the new school year, with teenagers flying in from all over the globe. Vans, cars, SUV’s are going to all major airports in Oregon welcoming and bringing these weary travelers to their destination – Canyonville Christian Academy for the 2010-2011 school year. Many years ago, when Dad Shaffer started this private boarding school, did the idea of International students every cross his mind? Today Canyonville Christian Academy houses students from as many as 20 different nations, that call this place home for 9 months of the year. They then take back home to their home country, a wealth of what CCA has taught them through out the school year. Many have new friends for life from different countries and from here on campus – teachers, deans, cooks and staff members. What opportunities are given here at CCA! Impacting nations as they also impact us.
