CBA Elementary Lion Link 🐾
Your link between home and school | September 8, 2023
Hello CBA Families,
Welcome to this week's edition of CBA Elementary Lion Link, your link between home and school! We hope this newsletter finds you well and that your children are enjoying their time back at CBA!
We are thrilled to share that our first weeks back at school have been a great success. Our students are settling into their academics and the daily routines of school life. The enthusiasm and dedication of our teachers and staff have made this transition smooth and enjoyable for our students.
Thank you for joining us at our first Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting of the year this past week. We had a great turn out and were able to start planning for a wonderful year! Your presence and support are greatly appreciated. Take a look at the PAC Section below for updates, reminders and dates to remember.
Coming up at CBA Elementary:
We invite you to stop and say hello to us at the upcoming West Chester Restaurant Festival on Sunday, 9/17 from 12:00 to 5:00pm. We are looking forward to sharing our CBA Elementary Story with the West Chester community!
Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for October 3rd and 5th. This is a valuable opportunity to discuss your child's progress and learning goals. We encourage you to sign up for a conference slot to stay informed and engaged in your child's education. Keep an eye out for scheduling information in the coming weeks.
Get ready for some fall fun! Our annual Parade of Pumpkins is just around the corner, Friday 10/13. Students will have the opportunity to support Bringing Hope Home by purchasing a pumpkin from CBA, carving it and returning it to school to be included in our Spook-Tacular display of Jack-o-Lanterns. Please look out for more details from 3rd Grade on this exciting community service project.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events and conferences. Together, we can make this school year a memorable and successful one for our students.
Thank you,
The CBA Team
