Do you know how many days are left until summer? Undoubtedly your kids can answer that question. Although it has been a wonderful year, I think we are all sprinting the final stretch in an attempt to finish strong. They always tell us that the 3rd trimester is the shortest, but it really seems to be flying by at an even quicker pace this year. While there is only about a month left in the school year, your PTAA is not slowing down the pace!
Here are some of CA PTAA events we have scheduled for May and June:
- May 2nd: CA101: PTAA in coordination with Advancement holds this class for incoming 6th grade parents to help them learn about the many ways they can help CA and their students through various types of moral, volunteer and financial support.
- May 4th & 11th: Upper School Stress Buster Snack
- May 5th: Kona Ice Truck Event for 11th Grade
- May 7th: 11th Grade Parent Coffee, 7:45-9 am, Dining Hall
