Comments : 0

Students displayed their true CBA spirit recently as they dressed up in red, white and blue for ‘Murica Monday; were decked out in grass skirts, and colorful shirts and hats on Tropical Tuesday; put on their wackiest and tackiest outfits on Wacky Wednesday; donned their favorite outfits from yesteryear for Throwback Thursday and sported their Homecoming t-shirts and purple and gold on Friday, in celebration of Homecoming.

On Friday afternoon (Sept. 30),students, faculty and staff gathered in the Lynch gymnasium, for a pep assembly. Seniors Taylor Kirschenheiter and Ja’nayza Hunt emceed the event. Seniors Dan Damico, Toby OKong’o, Dan Mosher and Zach Popp competed for Mr. CBA. In a close competition, OKong’o’s singing drew the biggest and loudest applause from the student body, and he was voted this year’s Mr. CBA. Each of the fall athletic teams was also introduced.
