PTA Programs Spotlight

Teacher Appreciation Meals

"The PTA does an incredible amount of work to ensure teachers feel appreciated ALL year long! In my previous experience at other schools it was a wonderful one week perk, but our PTA goes above and beyond to make sure we feel the love all year! Thank you!" - CBCS Staff Member 

Our hard-working Teacher Appreciation Team provides countless services to our teachers and staff. Our Program Spotlight for November is Monthly Appreciation Meals. Staff Appreciation Meals include local favorites like Teocalli Tamale and Secret Stash, as well as potluck style homemade meals like the annual “Souper Bowl.” Coffee Cart days include door-to-door delivery of locally brewed coffee, along with treats and snacks to choose from.  Thank you to our amazing volunteers who serve the almost 100 CBCS Staff every month. And thank you to our gracious sponsors who support efforts to make our staff feel appreciated year round!
