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.

November 1: Lunch & Learn‌


LUNCH and LEARN – Join us for a time to have ‘Lunch and Learn’ together!

Our desire is to partner with parents in raising up a generation of creative thinkers, confident communicators, and courageous leaders. Daily we carefully consider how to make that happen in the classroom. We also want to partner with parents in offering parenting seminars as we come alongside you. On Wednesday, Oct. 18,  the second of three parenting seminars, Habits of the Household, was held at Friendship Baptist Church. As a follow-up to that seminar, we invite you to bring your lunch and come consider with us how discipline can be seen as discipleship – what that means at school and what that could mean at home.

When: Wednesday, Nov. 1, 12 noon – 1pm

Where: HABC Fellowship Hall

Sign in at the CBA Front Office on Holmes Ave. Office staff will direct you to the Fellowship Hall

November 2: CBA Dad's Night Out
