We hope that everyone had a restful and enjoyable Spring Break! We are looking forward to hearing about it when everyone returns to school on Monday.
We are jumping right back in! Kindergarten students are working hard on their Character Day presentations! 1st grade is headed to the Elmwood Park Zoo for their Sensational Animals program all about the five senses and how they're used in the animal kingdom. 2nd grade will virtually visit the Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania where they will adopt a wolf! 3rd grade students will present their Makey Makey video game design challenges, and 4th grade students will showcase their STEAM projects in our first ever STEAM Fair! Finally, our 5th grade students will virtually visit Valley Forge.
We will wrap up the week with our final Penny War celebration, when Mr. Rodia kisses a PIG! 🐷 Friday at 12:30pm on the CBA Playground! If you're able to swing by, we'd love to have you. If not, no worries. We will have plenty of pictures and videos!
Don't forget to make your 2021/2022 Lion's Pride Yearbook purchase before May 4th. Details are below!
We have a lot to look forward to!
Have a Happy Easter,
Mr. Rodia

Yearbook Ad Sales are NOW OPEN!
Pre-K through 4th Grade Families
We have been working hard on this year's Lion's Pride Yearbook! Sales for the book containing the best CBA memories of the year will open in April. Before then, here are a few things to consider.
If you are a 5th grade family, you can stop reading here, as you will be getting an email with yearbook info that is specific to 5th grade.
Otherwise, starting today, you can buy a personalized space in the yearbook! Each 1/8 page ad is only $10 and can be used as a personalized shout out to your child, class, or teacher OR as a business ad. Ads will be on sale until April 8th. Click on the link below to purchase and create. **Please note: the 1/4 page ads are ONLY for 5th grade. Be sure to select the 1/8 ad when purchasing**
Purchase ads here!
If you are not sure what to include in an ad, or what an "ad" looks like, you can take a look at last year's book for examples (you can reach out to Lauren Miles (lmiles29@gmail.com) for this).
Also, when yearbook sales open, you will have the option to personalize up to 12 pages in the back of your book for an additional cost (<$20). If this is something you might be interested in, start thinking about what you might want to include and start gathering pictures so you won't feel crunched to pull things together at the last minute.
Thank you!
5th Grade Families
Hi 5th Grade Families!
We hope you are looking forward to this year's Lion's Pride yearbook!
Starting today, you are able to create a personalized "ad" space in the book! Each 5th grader and their family gets a 1/4 page ad which can be used as a personalized shout out to your child. Please create your child's ad space byApril 8th. Click on the link below to create!
Create your ad space here!
**Please note: the 1/8th page ads are for the other grades and are $10.
Be sure to select the 1/4th ad when "purchasing" - they are $0.**
If you are not sure what to include in an ad, or what an "ad" looks like, you can take a look at last year's book for examples (you can reach out to Lauren Miles (lmiles29@gmail.com) for this).
Additionally, CBA PAC is looking forward to purchasing a Lion's Pride yearbook for each 5th grade student! However, this year, you will have the option (the same as available for students in other grades) to personalize up to 12 pages in the back of your student's book (for <$20). If this is something you might be interested in, start thinking about what you might want to include and gathering pictures so you won't feel as crunched to pull things together at the last minute.
In order to provide this as an option, each 5th grade family will need to place an order for a book (instead of CBA PAC placing a group order for all of 5th grade). When yearbook sales open in April, we will provide 5th grade families with a COUPON CODE to cover the cost of the book, excluding the personalized pages.
Thank you!
