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.

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.

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.
