Principal's Pen
Greetings CES Families,
Last week we kicked off our spring fundraiser, the Eagle Run. The Eagle Run will be held this Friday! Please consider volunteering to help—we need you! The volunteer link is below Upcoming Events in this newsletter. Every student will run in the Eagle Run and will receive a shirt and drawstring bag. There are other prizes to be earned as students get donations. Our goal is to raise $10,000, and we have already reached almost 70% of this goal. Our students are very excited for the Eagle Run, and we hope that you are too.
Teacher Appreciation Week is May 1-5. I hope you will join in and help our teachers feel loved all week! There are several sign ups below Upcoming Events in this newsletter. We would love to have you help with Duty Free Lunch, provide a dessert, or send a gift card for our teachers. Thank you to everyone who has already signed up!
Awards Days will be held in May. Please see the Upcoming Events section of this newsletter for grade specific times. Students can earn the following awards: All As, All As & Bs, Excellent Attendance, i-Ready Reading/Math Growth, and Governors’ Physical Fitness. There will be other awards given specific to each grade level. We hope that you can join us to celebrate our students.
Our 4th graders have two last ACAP testing days this week on April 25-26. We will also be completing ACAP tests for students who were absent on the original testing days. On testing days please make sure students arrive to school on time, eat a healthy breakfast at home or at school, and have a charged laptop. Please encourage your child to do his/her best. Every test is practice for the next test!
We still have many families who need to complete registration for the 2023-24 school year. Please encourage your friends to register as soon as possible. You can reach out to Ms. Cothren or Ms. Saylor with any questions. If your child’s registration isn’t complete you will be receiving an email this week to remind you to complete registration. Each Friday we draw student names for prizes to be given to those who have completed registration. Getting registered now will help us to create class lists for next school year.
Soar Eagles,
April Clark
