Volunteer Information:

This event requires a large number of volunteers. During the week of Celebrate the Arts, we will host the Scholastic Book Fair, an Art Expo featuring at least one piece of original artwork from each student, and the CES Talent Show! 

We are still looking for volunteers to assist with hanging art work, helping students with their book fair purchases, and preparing for the talent show. Please consider volunteering an hour or two of your time to make this event a huge success for our Cougars.

Thank You to our Sponsors for Making this Event Possible!
