April Newsletter
"How's the school going?" It's a question we hear a lot! With Lent underway and Spring blooming all around us, our inaugural school year has entered its final quarter. We are pleased to report that our students are thriving and that teachers and parents are seeing amazing developments in them. We want more area youth to experience this life-changing education and are busy recruiting students and teachers for next year! We're also working hard towards our funding goal and meeting with community members who feel called to support our mission. More to follow, but first...
G.K. Chesterton Quote of the Month:
“Nothing taken for granted; everything received with gratitude; everything passed on with grace.”
Hikari Calderon with Dr. Bond and board members at Incarnation.
Connecting With the Community
Sophomore Hikari Calderon recently spoke after each Mass at Church of the Incarnation to share how CASJE is impacting her life. CASJE also welcomed Knights of Columbus members Bob Maher (Council 11475, Assembly 2518) and Victor Villar (Council 11324), who presented the school with a U.S. flag. Many thanks to Incarnation and to the Knights for their support!

Sports at CASJE: Taekwondo & Ultimate Frisbee
As our enrollment increases, we're excited to begin expanding our sports program. The students have progressed tremendously in Taekwondo, recently earning their orange belts. We are seeking to start an Ultimate Frisbee team. To do that, we'll need a few more players, so we're opening it to students in grades 8-12 from other schools and homeschool. This is a fun way for students to preview our school culture. Contact us if interested!
Thank you for your continued support and prayers. You are helping make this high school with a higher purpose possible!
