Attention CTA Parents. Charter Day at the Capitol is Tuesday, May 8, 2018. Our Charger Voices will be featured at the festivities singing the National Anthem and one other song on the steps of the Capitol in Lansing. We encourage families to attend. The CTA bus will leave our school at 7 am and return approximately 3 pm. We have room for 10 parents on our bus. Preference will be given to parents of students in Charger Voices on a first come, first served basis. Parents of those students have until this Friday, at 12 noon to send me an email reserving their spot. Send your email to dgeorge@ctachargers.org. After 12 noon on Friday, if there are any spots left, we will open it up to all parents, first come, first served.

Good Morning! I hope all of you had a great snow day! During the month of February CTA focused on the character trait: OPTIMISM!! K-5th grade students received optimism cards when they were caught being optimistic. Each student that received a card, placed the card in an envelope and 6 students were randomly chosen to have a special lunch with Mrs. Mattson this Friday! Congrats to all our CHARGERS that were caught demonstrating OPTIMISM!! March we will focus on: WORK ETHIC and pay close attention to our behavior and choices!
