BOARD OF TRUST
Dear CPA Community , Thank you !
At the beginning of the 2020-21 school year , CPA leadership , faculty , and a significant number of board members gathered in the Sanctuary to pray for the upcoming school year . There was a lot to pray about . COVID-19 was raging in the country , schools across the state were closed , and uncertainty was the word of the day . We had no idea what this school year would look like .
We prayed collectively in the Sanctuary , then walked together in the Quad , between buildings , stopping at each school building to pray specifically for that school ( preschool , lower school , middle school , and upper school ). The collective prayer was for the safety of all those who would enter the walls and that school would be able to continue without interruption , discord , and fear .
God has honored these prayers ! But it hasn ’ t come to pass without the concerted efforts of everyone involved . As board chair , I want to thank those who went above and beyond to make this year happen . We have been able to complete a fantastic school year .
Amidst the multitude of opinions ( from all across the spectrum ) and daily challenges , Nate and his executive leadership team , the Division Heads , key administrators , and faculty in each school did an outstanding job of heeding expert advice , crafting effective strategies , and making wise decisions on behalf of students and families .
On behalf of the board , I wish to express deep gratitude to all involved . God ’ s spirit of peace and unity were evident in so many ways , and the mission of CPA shone through . And thank you to those who may have done things differently , but followed school leadership through these uncharted waters with grace and understanding .
Grace and Peace ,
Bill Mooney | CPA Board Chair
