Caldwell Academy Spirit Store

bbishop — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:03:15 +0000

Recently we told you about a school spirit store we would be opening soon. Well, now it’s officially here. We have an assortment of pullovers, jackets, shirts, hats and accessories.This initial offering is just the beginning. Our plan is to start small, focusing on a few items that we thought our parents and students would like, and then add more once we’ve had feedback on other items you’d like to see available.

Here is how the store will work: All items are ordered and embroidered specifically for you. We don’t have the luxury of being able to stock Inventory, but we will have a few items posted on a board in Founders’ Hall next week. Orders will be accumulated online-only through the 15th of each month. After the 15th the store will close and the orders will be processed. By the 30th of the month, all orders will be delivered to Founders’ Hall and available for pickup. Then the store will open and begin accepting orders again to repeat the cycle.

So, the Caldwell Academy Spirit Store is open for business. Check it out.

Caldwell Conversation – Technology Issues (open for video)

bbishop — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 13:17:28 +0000

The internet is a place our young people are spending more and more time. Sadly, much of what is available to our kids is unknown to parents and is constantly changing. How can we guide our children through something this complex? How can we set guidelines and monitor activity online? What about smart phones? We discussed these issues and more in our first Caldwell Conversation of the year.
