Grandparents & Special Friends filled CBA with family pride and joy today! Thank you to every guest who visited—and to every donor who put their name on a flame. Your support makes our school better every day. 🔥

The Amazing Shake challenges CBA students in grades 5–8 to make strong first impressions, think on their feet, and communicate with confidence—building real-world skills that will serve them wherever their futures lead. 🤝 Congratulations to this year’s winner: Fiona Perkey.

From tiny seeds to branching out, third grade took us on a journey through the year ahead. Their Family Gathering skit celebrated science, systems, and the courage to learn from mistakes, try new ideas, and keep growing together. 🌳 Way to go!

CBA Parents, join us for our first Coffee & Tea on Wednesday, September 9, at 9 AM in the Family Center.

Fourth grade led Family Gathering with a lively performance of the fable The Ant and the Grasshopper. Their story reminded us that hard work and planning prepare us for the future. What a fantastic job! 🐜🎶

What goes into telling a story? Our film students used comedy to give Family Gathering a behind-the-scenes peek. From preserving memories in a yearbook to experimenting with movie genres, their skits showed how many choices go into creating something worth remembering.

The senior haircuts are back! Hey, class of '25 and '23, the class of '27 brought it back on Friday. It's a bold choice, but one that knits them a little closer together.

Thanks for coming out to our Ice Cream Social. It's always fun to connect with old and new faces. And thanks to our volunteers for all their support in making it possible.

We are back in school! It was exciting to see you all. Thanks for a great first day. Enjoy the weekend.

Say ¡Hola! to Tania Harner, our new Upper School Spanish teacher! She loves gardening, reading, travel, LSU football, and helping students discover where language can take them. We’re thrilled to welcome her adventurous spirit to CBA! 🎉

Welcome Allyson Cogdill, our interim first-grade teacher! 🍎 She loves vintage records, karaoke, the northern lights, and cheering for Denny Hamlin. 🏁 Inspired by children’s resilience and joy, Allyson is a great addition to CBA! 🎉

Join us in giving a big CBA welcome to Lauren Morse, our new high school English teacher! 📚 She loves the curiosity students bring to class, coaches gymnastics 🤸‍♀️, and proudly cheers for the Chicago Bears. 🐻 We’re thrilled she’s here! 🎉

Going to Dollywood this summer? 🎢 Last month, HS Strings saw Dolly Parton’s From The Heart, learned about her rise to fame, and met the musicians, music director, and show director. What a fun look at professional music! 🎻✨

🏎️⚡ Way to go, Greenpower Racing! This year, our high school engineers moved up to the Advanced Modified division and finished 6th overall out of 29 teams at Talladega! 🏁 The team is proud of all they learned—especially about gear ratios—and excited to keep improving next year.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the 25th Annual Clayton Golf Tournament a success! ⛳️👏 It was a rainy day 🌧️, but that did not stop our golfers from having fun and supporting a great cause. 💙 Together, we raised nearly $120,000 for CBA’s scholarship fund! 🎉

🎤✨ Way to go, 4th grade poets! Students wrote original poems and performed memorized poems on stage for peers and parents—with costumes, props, and extra courage. What a fun celebration of learning! 📚👏🎭

🎓🐛 Today we celebrated Preschool Graduation! Our students sang, acted out The Very Hungry Caterpillar, showed off adorable costumes, and proudly led Family Gathering after waiting all year. Congrats to our rising Kindergarteners! 💛👏

Congratulations to CBA’s 9th graduating class! 🎓 On Friday, we welcomed 20 new alums. Some began with us in Kindergarten, and others joined along the way—each one adding to the personality, skill, and success of this class. We can’t wait to hear what’s next for these graduates.

🐟 Ms. Ogle’s 1st graders released the trout they raised in class into the Little River in Townsend! What a great hands-on way to learn about life cycles, ecosystems, and stewardship. Thank you, Trout Unlimited! ⛰️

🚀 5th grade launched rockets today! After learning about the 1960s space race and gravity, students worked in teams to name, design, and paint their rockets. The Lower School gathered on the playground and field to cheer on the launches! 🌎
