Bittersweet Goodbyes

Tuesday, June 21 was CFNC's last day of school. This school year CFNC graduated nearly 200 students, students who will enter kindergarten prepared to succeed! Our
send-offs are always bittersweet. They are sweet because we know we've nurtured, stimulated, excited and inspired our students to go on to become curious and engaged lifelong learners. And we are proud of their success and progress. They are bitter because CFNC typically has only one school year with our students; friendships and connections are made; and goodbyes aren't easy. Of course our doors are never closed to former students and their families and we welcome them back with open arms.

Despite the pending bittersweet goodbyes, June was jam-packed with seminars, workshops, events and activities for our children and their families. From beautiful graduation celebrations to a Tea Party and a Job Training Seminar, CFNC finished the school year as it had started it: by offering high-quality, culturally sensitive, appropriate and caring services to children and families in need. We hope you enjoy the stories below and help us in wishing our June 2011 graduates much future success!

Happy Summer to all!
