Box Tops for Education

September 11 Grandparent’s Day September 14 Open House/Hotdog Supper September 18 Interims September 20

Again this year we are collecting Box Tops for Education. These can be found on various products. Please collect them and send them to school with your child. It would be helpful if you would put them in a ziplock bag with your child’s name on it. We will have competitions each month for classrooms to see who can collect the most box tops. If you have any questions about this, please contact the school office.

Hurricane Harvey Relief!! So many families, communities and schools have lost everything because of Hurricane Harvey. CES wants to reach out to the families by donating money to the American Red Cross. Each classroom will collect money during the weeks of Sept. 11-25. We are asking that our students fill a jar with loose change but we will also take dollar bills and checks. We are making this a competition between classes. The class that raises the most money in each grade will have the opportunity to throw water balloons at their teacher for fun. Our theme this year is "CES Rocks Kindness" and this is one way for our school to show kindness to another community. Thanks for your help and support.

Wonderful Wednesday (1st grade) September 22 Fall Pictures September 25 Book Fair September 28 Literacy/Math Night

The public library is a key resource The public library is a great place for your child to develop important literacy skills and make positive associations with books, reading and learning. Libraries provide places for children to have print-rich and story filled experiences. Research shows that the more your child is exposed to reading and literacy, the more prepared he’ll be for school and for life.

Our fall fundraiser began last week. Please help us as we raise money to support our school! Each item sold will need to be charged 7% sales tax.
