Dear Sentinel Families,
This weekend is the Beluga Ball, CSA District Parent Council’s largest annual fundraising event of the year. The Beluga Ball, which features both a Silent and Live Auction, will once again be held virtually, making it easy for everyone to participate. Bidding for the Silent Auction opened Sunday and will run through this Saturday night when the Live Auction portion of the Beluga Ball commences. The live auction is such a great event to watch especially with our own CSPA alum parent Jim Carey as the auctioneer. He is sure to keep the energy high and adrenaline pumping as he encourages us to keep bidding on the spectacular Live Auction items. This year’s Live Auction will feature beautiful, classroom-created projects, brand-new high-end items, a few fun surprises, and the always-popular Reserved Parking Spaces.
New this year! Join us for an adult-only evening viewing party. Come cheer on the success of the Beluga Ball at an in-person celebration with CSA District faculty, families, and friends. Enjoy great food, beverages (beer and wine), and plenty of fun, plus exclusive bidding opportunities available only to those who attend. Ticket sales for the viewing party end tonight so make sure to grab your's today! Click HERE to purchase.
Both the end of Quarter 3 and SAT/PSAT testing are on the horizon for our High School students. Quarter 3 concludes on Friday, March 27. The College Board suite of SAT/PSAT testing takes place on Tuesday, April 14. More information about other Sentinel testing scenarios will be coming soon.
Next Monday, March 23rd we will celebrate our WInter Athletes at the Winter Athletic Awards Night. Once again this event will start in the CSAMS Gymnasium at 7pm. Congratulations to all of our Sentinel athletes and their families for the successes achieved, and the growth and camaraderie they displayed during the Winter season.
Finally, we continue to encourage our Seniors over the next nine weeks before their last day of school on Friday, May 22. Both Extended Essay presentations and Senior Information Night are “in the books,” so to speak. I am fully optimistic that our highly capable Sentinels students will finish their Senior year strong!
In partnership with you,
Matthew Stewart
CSA District is in need of volunteers to help with this years Beluga Ball. As they say, many hands make light work. We have MANY roles where we could use parents or CSPA Student volunteers from March 20 - 24th. For a list of volunteer opportunities and/ or to sign up CLICK HERE.
Winter Athletic Season Awards Night will be Monday, March 23rd, 7:00pm at CSAMS. CSPA athletes and their families should meet in the gymnasium for cookies and refreshments and to hear from Mr. Stewart and Mrs. DeLorenzo. Then after that, individual teams will be breaking off into separate rooms for the presentation of team awards.
Please Note: All Winter sport uniforms must be turned into Mrs. DeLorenzo before Awards night.
CSPA High School students are required to perform 50 hours of community service/volunteerism as a graduation requirement. Community service credit will be given for voluntary activities that help others or are beneficial to the community. Students earn credit for hours spent participating in the actual activity, not for meeting and planning time. Students are responsible for getting a Community Service Sponsor Sheet signed and dated for each activity.

Preparation is embedded in the Charyl Stockwell Preparatory Academy name. That preparation is grounded in the belief that people who are capable, caring, and self- directed learners will be successful in life no matter what they choose to do after they leave High School. Learning is a lifelong pursuit and we are committed to providing students with the skills they need for work and life.
We have created a permanent link to post-secondary resources that will appear at the bottom of this and all CSPA newsletters. Additionally, we have included a link for active scholarship opportunities. Visit these resources often to find helpful links and opportunities for all students, regardless of their post-CSPA plans.
