 Building snow forts, making snow angels, and sledding down hills – our students made the most of their snow days!
Dear CWES Families,
Happy New Year! It was wonderful to welcome our students back to school today after the extended winter break. We enjoyed hearing their exciting snow day stories and witnessing their enthusiasm as they settled back into their routines.
As we embark on a new year, we are excited to support our students in setting and achieving their academic and personal goals. We look forward to a productive and rewarding remainder of the school year filled with learning, growth, and success for all.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Leslie Malkowski, Kristi McGeehan, and Mindy Milliron

Are your kids seeking a fun game that promotes cognitive development, cultural awareness, social skills, and emotional growth? CWES is launching a Go Club for 5th and 6th graders, starting January 16, 2025. The club will meet every Thursday after school for an hour. No experience with Go? Don't worry! Two CWES faculty members and a Go instructor will be there to teach your child. We’re also looking for parent volunteers to help with the club—no prior knowledge of Go required, as you'll learn alongside the students. If you're interested in signing up your child, please complete the Google form. Space is limited! Please contact Joyce Colobong@ seccwepta@gmail.com with questions.
