Lunches by Food For Thought: Grades 1-7

‌ Lunches with Food For Thought for Grades 1-7
CBA partners with a local company, “Food For Thought,” to provide a completely optional lunch program for the students of grades 1st – 7th. Everything is completely customizable for your child and family on the website from the company providing the lunches. 
  • Parents, it is very important for each student to have their class updated to reflect the current school year. Otherwise, there is no way to get the lunches to the students.
  • Ordered lunches arrive at lunch time. Any snack included from “Food For Thought” will not be available until lunch. If you want your child to have a snack option prior to lunch, please send one from home.

Early Childhood (EC) Education News for the Week of 9/3/2023

Early Childhood (EC) Education News for the Week of 9/3/2023‌

We had the first Pancake Pals for Kindergarten on Friday, September 1.

The rest of the semester there will breakfasts for:
4 yo classes 10/6
3 yo classes 11/3
2 yo classes 12/1

The goal is for parents, to spend some time getting to know your child’s friends and other parents. If you are not coming to breakfast, just do the regular drop-off. Parents who cannot attend the pancake breakfast can drop off as usual, since teachers will be in their classrooms preparing for the day.

The second Pancake Pals for Kindergarten will be January 5.
