Annual 8th Grade Washington DC Trip
CELA’s 8th graders were in Washington DC from May 12th through May 15th. Prior to the trip, students study our nation’s capital in detail. Each student is assigned an area or point of interest which will be a stopping or talking point during the trip and they are tasked with thoroughly researching it so they can act as a tour guide and share their knowledge on the subject at the appropriate time. This practice immerses the students fully into the history and importance of this vital geographical area, enhancing the trip and giving them yet another opportunity to exhibit their leadership skills. This year while in DC, CELA students had the great honor to take part in a wreath laying ceremony when they visited Arlington National Cemetery. Four students were chosen to participate after writing essays on the significance of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and Arlington National Cemetery as a whole to our nation.

CELA Students Collect Supplies for Children in Haiti
Students from Christian Education Leadership Academy in Pewaukee collected items for children in Haiti. Students in 3K-8th grade collected school supplies, balls, bats and educational games. They even organized the drive so the items could be sent to Haiti in time for the children to receive the gifts for Christmas. The collection/mission project was part of their lessons on compassion. The Christmas gifts will go to children (many of them orphans) of Haiti who live in a community below poverty level and that has been heavily impacted by lack of supplies due to COVID-19 and Tropical Storm Laura.
