cba-mighty-oaks-presentthe-2023-24-yearbook-1
‌

Deadline to order with FREE SHIPPING: MAY 3

This year, middle school students had the opportunity to select an elective class, one of which was to design and create the 23-24 CBA yearbook from start to finish. In the fall, students teamed up to present theme ideas to the principal and then began  diligently designing and editing the class pages. The class now humbly presents to you, Molded by the Master, in which we set out to creatively reflect how students are becoming more like God, our amazing Creator.   

DEADLINE: Order by May 3 for FREE SHIPPING directly to CBA. After May 3, Treering.com will charge a shipping fee.

May 6-10: Teacher Appreciation Week
‌

We are thrilled to organize Teacher Appreciation Week again this year! 

The original deadline to send donations was Friday, April 19, but there is still time to donate $15 per student via Venmo to @Angela-Moreland-Johnson, Cashapp $Rich14Ever or ApplePay 843-513-3365. If you want to donate more, please do.

This is for ALL teachers at both campuses, FBC AND HABC.

We asked teachers what would be the most meaningful gift and the overwhelming response was gift cards and meals.  We would like to raise enough funds to give all teachers a substantial gift card as well as provide either breakfast or lunch each day during the week of May 6-10.

We also plan to deliver thoughtful surprises each day (more details to come).

As always, thank you for your support and trust as we show our teachers how much we love them!

Inspiring world changers together,

Anisha, Angie, and Laura

2024-25 CBA Elem/MS Uniform Policy

‌ 2024-25 CBA Elementary/MS Uniform Policy

Per the CBA Parent-Student Handbook, the uniform policy for the 2024 – 2025 school year is as follows:

CBA Elementary and Middle School students (Grades 1-8) wear uniforms for multiple reasons. Uniforms help students focus on one another’s character rather than their peer’s attire. Uniforms also help students pursue unity, take on the identity of leaders, promote modesty, dress for success, and ensure safety. Shirt colors were chosen to symbolize both our world and Jesus, the Light of the world. 

  • Daily uniforms are purchased from either Children’s Place, Walmart or Target (Target Cat & Jack Uniforms). 
  • Elementary and Middle School PE T-shirts and Middle School sweatshirts are purchased from the CBA office (officestaff@charlestonbilingualacademy.org).
  • Uniform colors include light blue (Daybreak), Navy (Tidal), Bright yellow (Yellow Pencil), White & Light Purple. 
  • No logos or writing should be on any polo shirts or sweaters.
