Tonight, Brooklyn South and Rivals are partnering with us for a joint community night from 5-9PM. Brooklyn South will donate a percentage of sales back to Cornelius Elementary. In addition to this, Rivals is having specials and hosting a coloring contest. Drop your sheet off at Rivals before 7PM to participate. Coloring sheets for the contest were sent home in Thursday folders and extra copies are in the front office at school. Prizes will be announced and awarded to winners. Rivals is extending their hours to 9:00PM for us so let’s help support these local businesses as they help support Cornelius Elementary.

We are definitely Batty For Box Tops at CES!  Because of all your contributions, we collected nearly 10,000 box tops and earned nearly $1,000 for the school.  A big thank you for your help in making this contest a success!
