September Character Quality: Thankfulness

‌ September Character Quality: Thankfulness

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character–that is the goal of true education.” To inspire world changers, it takes a partnership – a partnership in multiple facets including seeing your children become men and women of character.

We invite you to partner wit us in that endeavor by talking together, speaking blessings over your child, and reading together.

Click here to read the full article & to print the Thankfulness handouts.

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 8944). 
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)

To volunteer for Pack the Pantry, click here.
