If you didn’t get a chance to place your Art By Me order and would still like to, we have great news! The extended deadline is now tomorrow, March 23, by end of day. Please place your orders online at www.artbyme.com/shop. These make great gifts (Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthday) and are a wonderful way to treasure your child’s art for years to come.

If you have any questions, please contact Gina Wells at tgwells@carolina.rr.com. Thank you for your support!

Please join us for dinner at Brooklyn South tomorrow, March 22!

A portion of the proceeds from all dine-in and carry-out orders will be given to Cornelius Elementary.

We hope to see you there! Thank you for supporting our school.

Our groovy spring book fair results are in and we really love books at CES! Approximately $13,000 in books and other items were sold during last week’s fair, bringing in over $8,000 for the school! We were even able to purchase all of the books on the teachers’ wish lists for their classrooms. A big thank you to Jessica Cleary, Marcy Roberts, Laura Ziegler and all our book fair committee members for working so hard to make the book fair run smoothly for our students. We are grateful for you!

We are also overwhelmed by the generous spirit of our CES children and families during the “Pennies for Pages” contest. Your pocket change added up fast! We collected over $561 to buy books for students who may not have otherwise been able to receive one last week. The winners of the contest and popcorn party are:

K-2: Mrs. Kinne’s class

3-5: Ms. Cusick’s class

Thank you, everyone, for your participation and support!

If you’re planning to enjoy Tenders and Whit’s Frozen Custard tonight at Cornelius Celebrates the Arts, please note that they will only be accepting cash. We hope to see you there!
