The CES PTO is sad to share that the Daughter Dance Event planned for 2/5, and the Son Event planned for 4/1 are cancelled in consideration of the current COVID trends. We hope you will keep these dates on your calendar as a reminder to do something special with your Cougars! The PTO will watch for an opportunity to plan an outdoor family event for the spring.

Although the weather was not on our side this year, another successful Cougar Dash is in the books! We would like to thank our CES families, teachers, staff, volunteers and sponsors once again. With your help, it was a record setting year! The 2021 Cougar Dash raised just over $40,000 for our school!

Congratulations to all of our classroom and grade level winners (listed below). We are so proud of your hardwork and fast feet! An extra special round of applause goes to our two school-wide winners, Brooklyn Ladendorf (K-2) and Teo Bulat (3-5). Way to go, everyone!

Prizes have been ordered and will be distributed after winter break.

Due to Covid restrictions, the PTO can’t host the annual Cookie Walk this year. Bah-humbug. But don’t worry! Nothing will stop our holiday spirit! In cooperation with Bakery 28, and with your generous donations, the PTO Hospitality Committee will be delivery a beautiful assortment of holiday cookies to each teacher and staff member before winter break. Skip the baking, and visit our website to buy a box of cookies, or make a contribution towards the cookie fund. The deadline is December 12th.
