We wanted to give all CES families notice. We are looking at Friday's forecast for the donut dash. We will make a decision tomorrow afternoon if we will need to move the race up to Thursday due to rain. If we move the race to Thursday we will have our pep rally and pajama day on Friday.

Bus 73 is running a little late this morning.

PTO wants to remind everyone of next week's rewards. Please continue to fundraise, we are so close to our goal of $30,000.

PTO Test Announcement:
I wanted to see if we could open the document before I sent it out to all parents.


3-6th grade parents: In your child's Tuesday folder a paper was sent home about upcoming Leap Tests. The document had 2 QR codes that you could use to access information. Mrs. Collinsworth has created a 5min video to help you with using these resources. If you still have any questions, please feel free to call the office.
