Dear Members of the CFS Community,

History Month
This month we'll celebrate the School's founding in April 1918 and its rich history. The 2014 theme is a Celebration of the Arts, and helps to kick off our first ever Gala, NY in the 30s, on May 9. We will highlight tidbits of CFS trivia through weekly emails and we look forward to guest speakers addressing the CFS community on different facets of the arts.
