The CES PTO is pleased to announce that The Lowe’s Gives Foundation has awarded a $21,570 grant to the Cornelius Elementary PTO for its Learning in Full Swing project.  We will use the grant to purchase and install a full set of swings on the front playground. We are so grateful to Lowe’s for its support of the students at Cornelius Elementary School. Not only will these swings benefit the students, but they will be utilized and enjoyed by the whole community, as well.

Lowe’s, a FORTUNE® 50 home improvement company, has a 50-year legacy of supporting the communities it serves through programs that focus on K-12 public education and community improvement projects.  Since 2007, Lowe’s and the Lowe’s Gives Foundation together have contributed nearly $250 million to these efforts, and for more than two decades Lowe’s Heroes volunteers have donated their time to make our communities better places to live. To learn more, visit the Lowe’s Open House digital newsroom at newsroom.lowes.com or follow @LowesMedia on Twitter.

Do you have a camera?  Do you bring it to school events?  We would love your help! Every year, the yearbook relies on parents for many of their candid shots. Please continue to take these throughout the year! For any that you already have, and for those to come, we ask that you share them to the school website. That will allow the yearbook team to select and edit the photos.

You can upload any photos taken at school events – – field trips, PTO fundraisers, Power Time, lunch with your child, school clubs and anything else.  Beginning today, we would love to start collecting photos for potential use in the 2017-18 yearbook.

If you have some photos you would like to share with our Yearbook Committee, please use the following information:

Thank you for your help!  We look forward to seeing your photos!
