CFK PROGRAMS

As the festive season approaches, we extend a heartfelt invitation exclusively for our dedicated teachers and their families to join us at this year's highly anticipated Champions for Kids Holiday Festival! The event will take place on December 14 at the Springdale Holiday Inn Convention Center from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

This special evening is crafted to bring joy, laughter, and family fun to those who contribute immensely to the success of our educational initiatives. The invitation is extended to teachers and families associated with the I FINISH STRONG program from the fifteen K-8 schools in Northwest Arkansas, catering to youth from underserved communities.

The Holiday Festival is designed as a casual, family-oriented gathering, offering a delightful array of activities. Join us for Santa and Elf Games, Christmas cookie decorating, crafts, a Reindeer Cookie Bar, and more as we come together to celebrate the holiday spirit.

Beyond the festivities, the Champions for Kids Holiday Festival holds a significant purpose. We have partnered with fifteen K-8 schools throughout the academic year, working collaboratively to provide incentives and rewards that empower students as reading champions. As a token of appreciation, the event will shower these schools with over 500 Holiday Gift Bags, Christmas trees adorned with gifts, and wagons filled with treats and treasures for teachers.

This invitation is not open to the public but is exclusively extended to teachers and families associated with the I FINISH STRONG program from the fifteen participating schools. We recognize and value the vital role you play in the success of our educational endeavors.

Your presence at the Champions for Kids Holiday Festival will contribute to the warmth and joy of the occasion. We look forward to creating wonderful memories together on this special evening.

Warm Blessings,

Adelaide Schaeffer
