A Message from our PAC
The CBA PAC has some upcoming volunteer opportunities available!
HOLIDAY TEACHER APPRECIATION COMMITTEE
And last but maybe the most fun of all is joining the winter CBA staff appreciation committee! We have traditionally collected contributions from our families to purchase equal gifts for all staff to be distributed (or experienced) just before the winter holiday break. This is a group gift made in lieu of individual holiday gifts to class teachers (this is only done once a year, any end of year gifts you desire to give would be individual). Lindsey Rauch is our committee leader looking for a few more volunteers to share ideas/make it happen!
HOLIDAY TEACHER APPRECIATION LUNCH - CLASSROOM COVERAGE
The CBA PAC will host a luncheon as part of the holiday gift to the faculty. We want all the faculty to be able to enjoy the luncheon together, so are looking for parents to come in and cover the classrooms on Friday, December 8th from 12-1pm.
Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up.
Thank you CBA for your unwaivered support!
