What does a ton of Christmas tuna look like?  CDA high school students have enlisted the help of the CDA Logic School (grades 5-8) to collect 5,334 cans (one ton) of tuna!  And lest that number seem staggering, it is really only 18 cans per 5-12th grade student.

Our high school chose to respond to CCA’s (Christian Community Action) request for  canned food to refill their empty shelves in anticipation of winter in north Texas.  CCA locally supplies the needy in our communities with over $1.1 million dollars of food each year.

So, are there a few cans of tuna in your pantry? Drop them off at the upper school as you bring students to and from campus.   Charity is defined as the giving of help to those in need; helping those less fortunate than we.  That is love.  What does it look like?  Augustine defined it as “It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.”  A ton of tuna looks like love!

What do C. S. Lewis, Homer, William Wallace and Wilbur and Orville Wright have in common?  High School Parents are invited to attend the High School House Assembly THIS Friday, September 14 at 11:35-12:05 to find out! Back by popular demand, the four houses will give command performances highlighting their origins.  Formal attire is required (school oxfords and ties, slacks or skirts).  Participation is rewarded and point tallies will be announced. See you there!

I knew when my dad, Robert Muzzall, died that we had been fathered and grandfathered by a man devoted to God, his wife of 62 years, and his extended family.  We attributed to him our love of nature, walks on the beach, poetry recitation, respect for hard work and caring for others, less-fortunate than ourselves.  We knew he and my mom had helped a lot of folks out through the years, but I never imagined in the days since his death, that there would be so many.
