FIELDTRIPS

Monies from the fair  fundraiser allow our students to take multiple field trips throughout the school year. CCA values field trips and opportunities for our students to explore new places, ideas, and have new experiences. 

Other monies raised currently are being reserved to improve our gym floor. The support of the community and CCA families make a difference for our students. THANK YOU!

NO DOOR TO DOOR SALES

Canaan Community Academy fundraising consists of events and donations. The two biggest events are the school fair and the fall festival.

Other ways to help us raise monies by purchasing things you normally would is by:

1.  Registering your Kroger card in the Community Rewards program (select Canaan Community Academy as your school) https://www.kroger.com/topic/school-programs

2. Complete Amazon purchases through the Amazon Smile site (select Friends of Canaan as your charity) https://smile.amazon.com

3. If you are eating out on the second Tuesday of the month, eat at the Madison Pizza Hut.

4. If you bank with German American Bank ask for the CCA debit card and every purchase will donate monies to us (every penny counts).

5. We collect box tops for education; please clip and send to CCA.
