🎨✨ Our Color The World Fundraiser has officially launched! ✨🎨

Your generous support in previous years has helped us create magical outdoor spaces to offer enriching learning environments beyond the classroom! Our goals for this year include improvements to our sensory garden, reading nook, and outdoor classroom, funding for a new audio/video system in the cafeteria, classroom support, many exciting programs and activities, and so much more!

This is a No-Hassle Fundraiser, which means there is nothing to sell, and no outside companies will be making a profit. All proceeds from this fundraiser go directly to supporting our school, teachers, and students!

As you can see in the flyers, the students will also be rewarded for their participation in a lot of fun and exciting ways!

💡 Register your student today:
👉 bit.ly/CESfundraiser26

After registering- share, share, share with anyone and everyone who may be willing to help us reach our goals! 🚀🎨

💕 Grandparents Day Lunch!

CES is so excited to welcome our grandparents to lunch!

If you would like to purchase the school lunch, the cost is $4.75 per person. They are only able to accept cash or check at this time. Unfortunately, they do not have the means to accept debit or credit cards.

Please note that lunch cannot be charged to a student’s account.

If paying with cash, please bring exact change when possible, as they are unable to make change for large bills.

Thank you for helping us make Grandparents Day a special and enjoyable day for everyone! We look forward to seeing you! 🍎💕
