Cypress Woods Elementary PTA

Quietly last week while we wrapped up the school year, said farewell, congratulations, and good luck to our fifth graders and celebrated the retirements of some of our finest teachers, Miss Cindy, Ms Edlemen, Coach Crispyn, and Ms Slater many missed a very important announcement. Not wanting to take away anything from his students or staff, Mr. Stevens quietly announced his retirement. Mr Stevens has been a trusted, loved, and admired administrator at CWE for eight years. He has been a humble leader, friend, and teacher. The quiet way he leads was so admirable, always with an encouraging word or a supportive gesture. He would drive all over Pinellas County even if it meant he was just supporting one of his students.

We wish him the best in his next chapter. We want to make sure we celebrate his accomplishments and all of the acts both small and large that continue to make CWE one of the top elementary schools in the county.
Mr. Stevens ….We will all miss you very much..

All together now…
And as always… GO EAGLES! 🦅

What a wonderful day celebrating our amazing 5th graders! 🎉☀️

From the laughter and fun at the 5th Grade Picnic to the emotional clap out as our students took their final walk through the halls, today was filled with special memories we’ll never forget. We are so proud of our 5th graders and excited for all that lies ahead for them in middle school!

We also want to give a heartfelt thank you to our retiring teachers, Coach Crispyn, Ms Edelman, Ms Slater and Ms Cindy, for the years of dedication, love, and impact they’ve made on our school community. Your influence will be felt for generations of students to come, and you will be deeply missed. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who helped make today so meaningful. Wishing all of our families a safe, fun, and relaxing summer! ☀️📚

Go Eagles! 🦅 💙💛

A letter from your PTA president:

As my girls move on to middle school I would like to take this opportunity to thank the CWE community for trusting me to be the PTA president for the past two years and a member of the board for the last five. A special thank you to my fellow board members - Amanda, Lizzy, Allison, Kelly, Janine, Kalyn, Sarah, Ashleigh, Erin. Your dedication, time, energy and creativity made all of those events and last minute scrambles worth it every single time.

To the parents that donated, volunteered, and otherwise supported and encouraged us along the way - Thank you for allowing us to be a very small part of your child’s educational journey. We take that responsibility very seriously and work to assist in creating the most supportive and encouraging educational experience possible.

We have built an incredible team for next year as we continue to support the teachers, staff, administration and students of Cypress Woods Elementary. Look for much of the same and announcements about the 2026-2027 school year coming soon from Amanda Martinez and her team.

Thank you again for all the support. These past years have meant the world to me. Wishing everyone a restful and joyful summer break.

Steve White
