November 17: 3rd Annual Grade 1-7 Thanksgiving Feast

We are excited to continue our 3rd annual CBA Elementary/Internediate School Thanksgiving Feast! We are happy to invite our local pastors and Donor as a way to say “Thank You”.
 
We hope that students will learn that “great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” Please help your children in this lesson by allowing THEM to particiapte in the action of bringing their assigned item in their classroom by Nov 10 (non perishable) and 15 (perishable).
 
We are encouraging our students to be servant leaders by allowing the intermediate grade students to help in serving at the meal before partaking in the meal themselves.
 
The vents of the day include a special chapel from Dr. Johnson, then a loving time of feasting together as a schoolin celebration of the great bounty we have enjoyed this year, especially our new facility!
 
**Friday, November 17, is an early dismissal day.**
 
This is a special event that we hope will create lasting memories for your children. Click here find ways in which you, as a parent, can help with the event. If you volunteer, you are welcome to attend the event.
