Why did you choose CLA?
I first joined the CLA family in 2013 as the parent of a student. I was attracted to the smaller setting and the PBL focus. That same year, I joined the Board of Directors and two years after that, I became the lead coordinator of the CLA PTO. I loved being a part of the school, getting to know and support the students, staff and fellow parents. When a support position opened up at the school in 2016, I was overjoyed to be offered that position. I continue to choose CLA because I believe in the vision of the school, and I want to play a part in upholding that vision. I love being able to not only know every students name, but truly getting to know them and the details of their lives. I want to be able to influence each and every one of their lives in some positive way. I am so happy to be a part of the CLA family and I am glad they have chosen me.
