I am unusually excited about this school year.  Last year, I learned that I was guilty of taking many things for granted.  Even though, we aren't completely back to "normal", I celebrate the passing of seating charts, cohort groups, traveling specialist, and the isolation of classroom groups.  I also feel a presence of resolution.  I know beyond any doubt, that our Cahaba Family can and will weather any storm that comes our way. We are strong and resilient!

I appreciate your thoughtfulness and consideration of our parent's schedules when choosing your "Meet the Teacher" dates and times.  So many people have expressed their appreciation for an opportunity to meet you! 

In early July, we kicked off the Cahaba Back to School Challenge.  The printable page was posted to FB and IG.  Copies were also available for pick up in the office.  We will continue the Back to School Challenge until August 27.  My goal is that every Cahaba student complete the challenge AT HOME! We'll have Popsicles and bracelets for all who complete.  I'll put a stack of copies one person's box from each grade level, so you will have them available at Meet the Teacher.

PLEASE create some sort of board with your "wishes" listed on notes that parents can take with them.  This is a much better option to adding them to supply list. 

If possible have this out at Meet the Teacher.  

Wish List Ideas  - 

Another idea would be sharing information through a QR Code 

that parents can access with their phones.

Let me hear from you about Summer Reading.  What are your expectations for the students?

 

Hooray!  We negotiated a price break on the t-shirts so you owe nothing!  They will be distributed Friday morning.  Please plan to wear them to Institute Monday and for our staff picture Tuesday.
