New to English Station Families – Join Us for Coffee & 10, August 26
Parents new to Christian Academy’s English Station Campus –
It’s a whirlwind stepping into a new school. We know you have been sent enough emails to fill your inbox. While there is so much to learn, we want to be sure to personally connect with you in a relaxed atmosphere where there are no registration lines or FACTS forms to fill out! That’s why “Coffee and 10” was created. It’s some time to join us, meet parents, have a cup of coffee (or something else) and a treat while spending a few minutes hearing from someone within Christian Academy. Our “10” minute speaker on August 26, will be Adrienne Crosby, Director of Development for Christian Academy School System.
Would you join us on Friday morning just after dropping your child at school? Current CAL family Jeff and Kelly Saing have kindly offered to host us at their Middletown restaurant Simply Thai located at 12003 Shelbyville Rd, Louisville, KY 40243. In addition, we’ll have Kim Morrision, also a current CAL parent and business entrepreneur of The Hygge Gathering, creating a cozy, inviting meeting space.
Please let us know you are coming by RSVP’ing here.
