A Message From Mrs. Stephanie Winters, CSA Elementary Principal

Dear CSA Families,

Our CSA Spirit Club is kicking off its first big initiative of the year! Our annual canned food drive is a beloved CSA tradition, and we are proud to continue our mission as true Hunger Heroes. Each holiday season, our Spirit Club rallies the school to collect food donations for Gleaners Community Food Bank, helping support families in our community. This year’s drive will run from Wednesday, December 3, through Wednesday, December 17.

Students in the Explorer or Voyager units are invited to join the CSA Spirit Club, where leadership, school pride, and character come to life. Representatives from each class meet monthly to explore our school’s five core philosophies and six essential character traits: respect, responsibility, work ethic, kindness, getting along with others, and optimism. Together, they plan spirit wear days, select at least two charitable causes, and design meaningful ways to support them.

At CSA, we are committed to offering rich service-learning opportunities and meaningful leadership experiences, from elementary into high school. As Mrs. Moceri shared in her recent article, these moments shape confident, compassionate leaders.

Thank you for supporting our young leaders and the impact they make. If you’d like more information about the Food Drive, please reach out to your child’s teacher or a school leader.

In partnership with you,

Stephanie Winters
