The AccLaIM
Lead Story Headline
CCA staff and students enjoyed Spirit Week, which was followed by a fun-filled Spirit Day. The last hour of Spirit Day, the Warriors had their monthly Spirit Rally. At the rally, Mr. Lane announced the students of the month for elementary, middle school, and high school. Caleb Williams was the student of the month for elementary,
Jada Childs for the mid-dle school, and Andrew Mitchell for the high school. The elementary fully participated in the guidelines for the days of Spirit Week and screamed the CCA bat-tle cry. So they won the spirit stick for the month of October. Not only were those awards given out but the War-rior Pride award win-ners this month were
the seniors for their will-ing spirits and drive for God. “Spirit Week was fun, anytime I get to dress the way I want I like it,” said junior Ryle Caler.

For as long as anyone except Mrs. Hotson can remem-ber, Collinsville Christian Acad-emy has ordered its lunches from multiple local restaurants. However, this year, the school has decided to order lunches from Domino’s Pizza down the road.
This program is, like the old new lunch program, still healthier than what it has been in the past. The change in the pro-gram was caused by students expressing concerns with the menu and small portion sizes of
the last lunch program. This new program is still on the healthy side, offering a choice of salad or fruit every day. Instead of order-ing a month ahead of time, stu-dents can order a week before their meal for five dollars. For those students that forget their lunch, lunches can be ordered on the day of the lunch for an extra fifty cents. Elementary stu-dents can order a smaller portion of food t a reduced cost.
The new menu offers the same choices for everyday of the week. Mondays offer a choice of
either a ham and cheese or Ital-ian eight inch sub sandwich with potato chips and either apple-sauce, pudding, or jello. Tues-days are pasta days, with a choice of either pasta in meat sauce, alfredo, or macaroni and cheese with a side salad and breadsticks. Wednesdays, the school will have fundraiser lunches. Thursdays’ lunches standardly come with five pieces of boneless chicken, cheesy breadsticks, and a choice of ap-plesauce, pudding, or jello. How-ever, students may order up to

If you’ve ever met Ryan Lane, then you most likely know a little about him. But do you
really know him? Everybody knows that he’s the son of Mr. Lane, but did you know that
Ryan has been here eight years? He transferred here from
Cornerstone Christian School in the fourth grade, and he is
more than happy to be graduating this year. If you’ve ever talked
to Ryan, even for a little bit, you’ve probably realized that his
favorite sport is baseball. When asked what his favorite pastime
other than baseball was, he answered, “I would say riding my
bike, but not anymore since I got hit by a car.” Ryan enjoys long
walks on short subdivisions, and his fa- vorite color is Kentucky
blue. His favorite songs are “Dirt Road Anthem” by Jason Aldean
and “Girls’ Night Out (GNO)” by Han- nah Montana (Miley Cyrus).
Ryan prefers his lunch class to all others, and when asked about being the only senior on
the soccer field, he patted JJ’s back and said, “It’s more responsibility on me, but I have
great junior leaders, like the Rylester.” Ryan plans to attend college somewhere and double
major in accounting and business management. He says that he will miss playing sports with
his friends the most, and when asked to leave a quote for all the students, friends, and
family members he’s leaving behind, he said, “Nobody knows what it means, but it sounds
provocative. I like it.”

The Warriors soccer team traveled to Decatur, Illi-nois on September 30 and October 1. They played Deca-tur Christian and LSA. The team finished the trip with one win and one loss.
During the first game against Decatur Christian, both teams went back and forth scoring in the first half. The Warriors completely out-
played the opposing team the whole game, but unfortunately they came on the short end of the score. They lost four to two, and the two goals were scored by junior JJ Russell.
The Warriors shook off the loss and enjoyed the ho-tel, where they laughed, played, and had fun in the pool and the hot tub. They had fun but were determined
not to lose the next day. They started and finished the game strong and won convincingly 8-0. Junior and captain, Jaather Adams scored four goals. Senior David Hartman scored his first goal of the season. Also sophomores BJ Brinkley, Jake Rogier, and Austin Fogg scored a goal.

The CCA Cheerleading
squad this year consists of
only five girls,
freshman Lydia
Stark, eighth
grader Mackenzie
Wiedle, seventh
grader Jada
Childs, and sixth
graders Elodie
Compton and
Sharnece Latham. The squad
does not have a cheer cap-
tain yet. Their team is being
coached by Ashley Morgan
and Danielle McCina. All girls
who went out for cheer-
leading made the team,
and they practice during
the week. The girls are
going to cheer at basketball
games and future pep rallies.
Elodie, along with all of the
other girls,
believe it’s fun
to do. Lydia says
she has more
fun with a
smaller squad.
They only have
four cheers and
she doesn’t have a fa-
vorite cheer yet. Lydia
decided to join cheer-
leading because she can
“smile as much as [I]
want” and it makes her
happy doing it.
