As we prepare to kick off Celebrate Fitness Week next week 🥳, we would like to take a moment to THANK OUR CORPORATE SPONSORS!! 🧡🖤 This event would not be possible without them! These sponsors help cover the costs associated with the event, allowing the funds raised by students to go directly to the PTS and ultimately back to supporting our CGS students.

So, where might these funds go? Each year, the PTS (Parent Teacher Society) organizes events such as Book Fairs, Family Reading Night and Santa's Cottage. This year we added a Father/Daughter Dance and Mother/Son Game Night! 😃
The PTS also invests in resources like playground balls and supplies for teachers in their classrooms. Additionally, it helps fund transportation for field trips, making them more affordable for students.

Looking ahead, we aim to help support more family fun evening events and events/assemblies for students at CGS! Through our Celebrate Fitness Day fundraiser, we hope to enhance the funding that will benefit CGS in numerous ways for students to enjoy. As students reach out to friends and family for donations, they will be rewarded with a day of fun.

To our Corporate Sponsors and community, again…THANK YOU!!
Your support makes all of this possible, and we truly appreciate you! 🐝🐝

CGS Celebrate Fitness Fun Has Begun! The fundraising event is officially underway!

💰Money collected by students for this initiative will be counted daily from this past Monday until Tuesday, April 21st! Each morning, during announcements, we will reveal the top class winners from each age group based on the previous day's totals.

🏆The winning classes will hold onto the spirit sticks until another class earns them! The classes in each age group that generate the highest total funds will be our ultimate spirit stick champions and will celebrate with a pizza party! 🍕

🧡Here are the lead class winners so far!
Fantastic work, students! 👏Thank you for your efforts in raising funds for our school!
