Grades 2-7: Come & See!

‌ Come & See

Preparing for and moving through ACSI Accreditation filled our days the past weeks. It filled our days, but left a hole that only you can fill. What is that hole? The desire for you to come and see all the wonderful things happening at CBA! Therefore, we would like YOU to ‘come and see’! Come join us for morning assembly. Come and walk the halls with Mrs. Lane and Dr. Johnson – look into classrooms through welcoming windows, see the beautiful work the students are doing, hear the joy and laughter that fills the building each day.

Check your ClassDojo "Messages" for the details pertaining to your child's grade.

October 25: Headmaster's Chat/Parent Connect

‌ October 25: Headmaster's Chat/Parent Connect

Parent Chat with a Firsties Focus

First Grade is a big step!

  • A step from half-day to full-day school

  • A step from ‘play-based’ to ‘project-based’

  • A step towards increased  independence

  • And a leap forward in reading and writing! 

We want to walk those steps with you!

Join Dr. Johnson and Mrs. Lane on Wednesday, Oct. 25, at 8:30 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall at Holmes Ave. Baptist Church as we chat about taking those steps with confidence and joy. We will take time to hear from the grade 1 teachers, look in on your students in their classrooms, and answer your questions.

Location/Time: HABC Campus @ 8:30

Action Needed: Photo Permission

Throughout the year, we take the children’s pictures. It is also possible that local media will feature our classrooms. Do you give your permission for CBA to use these pictures on our school website, newsletter, social media pages, and school apps? This year, we have only received photo release forms for 27 students. Parents, please be sure to update your child’s photo permissions using the FACTS Family portal. It’s easy and only takes a few minutes!

CBA Mighty Oak Artist of 2023-24-Lynnlee Buttars!

CBA Might Oak Artist of 2023-24
‌

The voting is complete and the new “CBA Mighty Oak Artist” of 2023 – 2024 has been declared! Colossians 2:6 -7 reminds us, “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were  taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” We desire our students to be rooted and built up in God’s Truth. And we want them eager and able to communicate that in multiple languages and multiple platforms.  The annual artist contest encourages students of all ages to draw a Mighty Oak Tree that will represent CBA for the year. The 17 submissions were judged by a panel of 15 CBA Faculty and Staff members.
