We had a great time competing a few weeks ago in Nashville, TN! It was everyone's first-ever competition - we took home 3 bronze medals, adding up to 12 gold, 11 silver, & 18 bronze across 7 states over the last 3 years! We’re looking forward to Chicago next month!
Recently Ms.Kia began teaching basic sewing to our students! Sewing is an essential skill— an excellent way for children to develop fine motor skills, build self-confidence & exercise creativity. Our students were "sew" excited to build their own pillow!
Recently Ignited for Christ helped celebrate the opening of the Smart Center at Greenville University with a Step Dance in celebration of Black History Month! Fine Arts is a cornerstone of our programming!
Recently we celebrated Read Across America Day (Dr. Suess Day) @ CAC! Celebrating the ryhme & rhythm of Dr. Suess's colorful storytelling was an enchanting & educationally good time! We want our kids to know they can be what they want to be & follow their dreams! #readingisfun
The CAC Entrepreneurship class runs our garden (and coming soon, our orchard) for their community farmers' market! We’re excited to announce we are now officially part of the Gateway Greening network! Thanks to everyone who supports our garden, our kids and our community!
CAC Families— if you haven’t already, take a few minutes & review the CDC’s guidelines for how to protect you and your family from COVID-19. Wash your hands often w/ soap, stay home if you’re sick, & avoid close contact with others. More information at bit.ly/2IZZsXM
Our entrepreneur students were working with Mrs. Margie recently on germinating 200 seeds for our farmers market coming up next month! Pretty pumped to get business going! #entrepreneurs
Recently our kids had a chance to meet with the CEO of Wings of Hope To discuss their Soaring for STEM program. In the program the kids will learn about aviation and even get to fly in the planes!We are excited about the opportunity for our kids! #STEMeducation
CAC Parents & Families - We have several updates for you! Please visit cacesl.org/parents for more information.
In order to ensure the safety of our children & families, CAC will be CLOSED to children & the community from 3/16 - 3/30. Please visit cacesl.org/coronavirus for more information. We will continue to provide updates on our operational status via our website & social media.
Recently our 6th graders attended Vineyard Community Church for a night of fellowship where we cooked lasagna & no-bake chocolate & peanut butter cookies. It was a wonderful time getting to know one another and exploring culinary techniques! We’re thankful for their friendship!
We’re so proud of our kids! This week their artwork was unveiled at the Sheldon Concert Hall & Art Gallery! They have been working alongside artist and ESL native Edna Patterson-Petty for the last 8 months to design more than 50 pieces. Be sure to stop by & check it out! #fineart
A top priority @ CAC is inspiring financial confidence in our children, Through partnerships w/ the Fed & Scott’s Credit Union, we’ve been able to do just that! Our children have made investments, opened savings accounts, & more. Read on our blog: ow.ly/B5dA30qiwW4
“All that you do here makes opportunities possible for our children by giving them dreams & skills to live purposeful lives. On behalf of our staff/volunteers, we say THANK YOU for the goodness that happened in 2019!” Be sure to read our annual report at cacesl.org!
The first year of the CAC Online program was very rewarding! Not only have we served 100+ students, but we have also seen 21 students complete their requirements & receive diplomas. We begin 2020 with 64 students enrolled! We’re so excited to see where this program goes in 2020!
How else do you celebrate the arrival of autumn than with a trip to Eckert’s farm! Our second and third graders had lots of fun exploring the corn maze, making friends in the petting zoo, and enjoying the wide open spaces! #fallfun
Recently Ms. Katy hosted a cooking class for a few of our ladies in Ignited for Christ— another great example of how we’re working to prepare our students for success! This class was invaluable! #buildingcommunity
Say hello to the CAC U12 Fall Soccer team! We are looking forward to competing in this year’s Belle Clair Cup. A big thanks to the Bob Emig Foundation, which has committed to our soccer program w/ a grant—we’re so thankful for them & look forward to this relationship! #soccertime
CAC was generously invited to attend a professional soccer (St Louis FC) game by our friends from UNCOMN. We are counting down the days to our first tournament in 2019 and trying to get as much soccer in whatever capacity over the last few weeks! #soccertime #buildingcommunity
