A reminder:
We will be once again hosting a “Gift of Giving” event this year. We need your help. We are asking that you start to bring in donations of gently used items for the students to choose from to gift to members of their family. The event will be on Friday, December 19 in the gym.
There will be a rolling cart parked just inside the front doors of the school for you to put items on. We are looking for items for moms, dads, and grandparents in particular. We always get many donations of kids items (toys, books, and such), which we need less of. Yes, some students choose items for siblings, but we are always short on items for adults.
From The Community School Society:
With the winter concert and winter break approaching, we are canceling all clubs next week. Morning library will run as usual. It is also the final week of lunch before winter break. There is always time to order!As always, it is never too late to order lunch. More details here: https://cecss.org/hot-lunch/
