Join Dr. Nate Johnson for our first Parent Chat September 5 on Healthy Homes. We will meet at the Friendship Fellowship Hall at 8:30 am. "Habits – they guide our everyday decisions and actions. Once developed, they guide us more than we guide them. But habits form much more than just our daily schedules, they impact who we, and our children, are becoming. How are your habits forming you and your child?"

Pre-watch Justin Early's "Habits of the Household" before the Headmaster's Chat on September 5.

Parent Teacher Fellowship

charleston bilingual academy

September 11: Pack the Pantry for FBC & HABC Teachers

‌ Pack the Pantry (1)

In September, we are Packing the Pantry! 

Pack the Pantry is one of the many thoughtful ways parents can show the teachers their gratitude! It is as simple as 1-2-3.
1. Parents can make a designated donation to the PTF (Venmo @CBA-PTF is preferred, last four 2472). 
2. The PTF will purchase healthy snacks (or occasionally meals) in bulk.
3. PTF volunteers will distribute the food across all campuses so that teachers can grab them whenever they need a power boost.

Feel free to give as little or as much as you would like. It is a blessing that our teachers truly appreciate, and it wouldn’t be possible without you!

Venmo is @CBA-PTF (it is now linked to our PTF debit card)

September 13: PTF Meeting

‌ September 13: PTF Meeting

Join us at the Parent-Teacher Fellowship Meeting on September 13 at the HABC Fellowship Hall to discover how you can actively support and encourage the teachers of CBA while building community among the families.
