On January 31st a house fire totally destroyed the home of a CTA family. The family lost their home and almost all of the family’s possessions. In keeping with our “CTA Family Values” we wanted to come together to help this family in their time of need. The girls’ basketball team rallied together right away to help their teammates get new shoes and new gear. PE teacher and varsity women’s basketball coach, Ryan Krombeen, organized a euchre tournament to help raise money for the family. The euchre tournament was held on Saturday February 8th at the TGIF on Alpine Avenue. Twenty people competed in the euchre tournament. The students and staff that participated in the euchre tournament were Hunter George, Dani George, Analiese VanEnk, James Hoftstra, Mrs. Terpstra, Mrs. Honeysett, Mrs. and Mr. Krombeen and Mr. George. James Hoftstra was partnered with his father and they made it all the way through the bracket to the finals. They ended up losing in the finals but they put up a good battle. “I was really happy with the turn out and the excitement shown by the participants. It was great to see CTA families coming together to help support one of their own,” Mr. Krombeen commented.
