Volunteers Needed- Spring Fling!

We’ve begun to plan for Spring Fling, tentatively scheduled for April 22, 2023!! Spring Fling is a carnival-type event featuring food trucks, games, inflatables, performers, teacher raffle and other wonderful surprises.  We need a LOT of help to make it the wonderful event that it is.  We need subcommittee chairs or the event will have to be greatly scaled back. Please take a look at the attached descriptions of the various subcommittees and let us know if you can help!!  If we can’t get subcommittee chairs, the event will have to be greatly scaled back!! If you are interested in being a subcommittee chair, a planning meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 29 at 8 pm via Zoom.  Please email Eileen Brewer at eileenbunny@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to help!

Young Author’s Templates 2018

Every year the CES PTA offers each student the opportunity to “publish” a book. Students write their own creative story, type it into a template, cut and paste the story into a blank book, and then illustrate their book. All parents are invited to a grade-wide Young Authors Tea to celebrate their child’s accomplishment. The Young Authors tradition has given students not only a useful lesson in creative writing and project completion, but also a keepsake of their literary development at CES.

The 2018 templates are available for download via the links below.
