Within the halls of the school, and out and about in the community, CBA students have certainly been in the holiday spirit.

As part of this year’s Advent project, students in Peer Ministry delivered gifts and gift cards collected in homerooms to St. Vincent De Paul Day Care Center. The children were thrilled to see Santa (Morgan Long) who made a surprise visit at St.Vincent De Paul. In addition, the National Honor Society conducted its own food and non-perishable items drive to benefit the Northeast Community Center. Students in every homeroom at CBA, faculty and staff participated in this annual gift giving Advent Project and the National Honor Society initiative.

Students also spread holiday cheer to seniors at James Square. The students handed out ornaments, and escorted the seniors to Mass, which was held at the facility.

The student body, faculty and staff dressed in their favorite holiday sweaters, wore Santa caps and reindeer antlers on Thursday to school. The junior and senior high chorus and bands, the jazz band and orchestra treated everyone to some holiday music at an assembly in the morning. Santa Claus (David Gross) also made an appearance, as senior Bridget Fallon recited the kneeling Santa prayer. Later in the day, students caroled from classroom to classroom spreading the joy of the season within the beloved halls of CBA.
