The Principals' Message 

Hello CES Community,

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving break is almost here! Just 7 more school days to go!

Last night's Family Noodle Night was a wonderful evening of connection and delicious food. Each family shared a special noodle dish, complete with a unique story. We're so grateful to Mrs. Vodi and Ms. Newman for organizing such a fantastic event. We look forward to building on this success for future family food nights.

Get ready for the Fall Book Fair at CES! We'll be open on Saturday (9am-1pm), during Math Night, and during both Thanksgiving Luncheons. Stop by to explore a wide selection of books and support our students' love of reading.

Ready to be a holiday hero? The Purple Eagles are on a mission to fill the Toys for Tots box! Bring a new, unwrapped toy to school and drop it off in the bus lobby by December 9th. Let's make this season extra special for kids in need!
