 Dear CES,
Wow, it is hard to believe that it is already June 1 and school ends in two weeks! We have several end of the year events over the next two weeks. We hope you find time to come and celebrate the success and growth of our students. Throughout the year the CES students have put forth amazing amounts of energy focused on improving their academic and social skills. When you come please do not forget your driver's license to check-in.
On Thursday, May 31st, 5 CES 5th Graders
represented our school at the Inaugural EcoRise Show Case, at the Green
Building in Washington, DC. The CES Green Team wrote a grant and were
awarded $2160.00 for their project entitled: Revamping Our Recycling at CES.
The students presented a video they made for staff to teach
about how to recycle at school. They also spoke to about 100 people, sharing
why recycling is important, where CES is with their recycling, and what they
proposed we should change to make our efforts more effective. All decisions
were made based on data the students collected, and observations made from
being in the cafeteria. Way to go CES Green Team!!! Can’t wait to
see your plan in action!

End of Year Medication Reminder
The
school health room reminds parents and guardians that all medication stored in
the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on
the last day of school. Medication left
in the health room after that time will be discarded. It is school policy that medications must be
picked up by the parent or guardian.
Medication cannot be sent home with your student.
If
your child will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County
Public Schools, your existing long-term medication authorization form(s) may be
used for the summer program. Please let
the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).
If
you have any questions, please contact the health room at 703.502.3510, or your
school public health nurse, Cindy McKee, RN, at 202.578.3745.

 Trout Release
Potomac Nationals Reading Program Bookmark
Today, your student is should have brought home a bookmark provided by
the Potomac Nationals Baseball team for their annual Reading Program. An
assembly is being held next week that will explain this program to our
students, but we wanted to give our students a head start on their reading to
get 2 free tickets to the P-Nats game on June 15th.
Students need to read 4 books (you can include books that
have been read during this school year), complete the back of the bookmark and
turn it in to their teacher by June 8th. The student will then
receive 2 free tickets to the Potomac Nationals game on Friday, June 15th
and sit with their CES friends and teachers. The game starts at 7:05pm
and the gates open at 6pm. For more information about the Potomac
Nationals and the game on June 15th you can go to potomacnationals.com.
We hope your student will participate in this annual event
that is fun for the whole family and a great way to celebrate the end of our
school year together.
