Join us for our PTA Meeting on Tuesday, February 11 at 7:00 in the Cafeteria (note the new location). 

Sezin Palmer, candidate for the Board of Education for District 4, will be in attendance to get a sense of the specific issues and needs of the CES community.  She will also be available to answer audience questions.  

Under PTA policy, we will provide an equal opportunity to District 4 and District 5 candidates for the Board of Education to attend future PTA meetings that are similar in time, venue and presentation format. Pursuant to PTA policy, this is not an endorsement of any particular candidate and we look forward to meeting other candidates for the Board of Education.

We have received the 2019-20 Howard County Reflections results and we would like to congratulate the following three CES students who have placed at the county level and have advanced to the Maryland State Reflections program. 

• Sanjana Chigurula  – 1st place in Primary Literature
• Vivian Lee  – 1st place in Primary Film Production
• Anthony Cao  – 2nd place in Intermediate Film Production   

We would also like to congratulate all the 14 students who were selected by our judges to represent CES in this year’s Howard County Reflections Program. They are:  

• Primary Visual Arts: Sophia Cao; James Pang; Ray Wang
• Intermediate Visual Arts: Daniel Ahn, Sarah-Jane Robbins
• Intermediate Music Composition: Violette Yang
  Primary Film Production: Vivian Lee
• Intermediate Film Production: Anthony Cao; Warren Lee
• Primary Literature: Sanjana Chigurula; Dougals Gartrell Jr.; Arjun Vijarnia 
• Intermediate Literature: Somya Pandove

This year’s theme is “Look Within”. We received wonderful artworks and our judges were very impressed with all the entries. We are proud of the accomplishments of all the other students who participated, including Nicholas Cao, Emily Oh, James Scherck and Aditi Vijarnia, .

We hope that our CES students choose to participate again next year. And best luck to Sanjana, Vivian, and Anthony as they represent CES at the state level.
