This spring, Cottage Hill Christian Academy (Church Campus) will hold its first Sports-A-Thon to raise funds to benefit the physical education and athletics department. All funds will be used exclusively to improve the fields and to purchase equipment to be used for P.E. classes and sports teams at the Church Campus.

Friends and family can sign-up to sponsor a student to perform a variety of fitness activities in P.E. class. The completed sponsorship form and money should be turned in by Wednesday, March 24. Students will complete their fitness activities in P.E. class during the week of March 29. Each student who participates will receive a certificate to document the exercises that he or she completed in class.

Our goal is to raise $4,000. We believe that this is a very attainable goal if we have 100% participation. All of the students in grades K2-8 th grade will benefit from this effort. Let’s all do our part to make each facet of Cottage Hill Christian Academy the very best that it can be!

If you wish to make a donation to the Sports-A-Thon, you may make checks payable to CHCA and send them to the attention of Coach Adam Thomas. If you have any questions, you may contact Coach Thomas through email (thomasa@chbss.org).

If a student purchases a gold shamrock between March 1 and March 16, they receive a pass, and get to wear jeans and a green t-shirt on St. Patrick’s Day.
