This week at CBE we celebrated Red Ribbon Week with a spirit week! Our Kindergarten students had a visit from the Dentist and the Cherry Hill Fire Department. We also had our first school wide Family Day!

On Monday 10/31 we will have our Halloween Parade at 2:00pm. Please see more details below regarding Halloween. This event is weather permitting.

October is National Principals month and I am so honored to be the Principal of Clara Barton Elementary School! Thank you CBE PTA for the beautiful flowers and card!

Have a great weekend!

Dear Clara Barton Elementary Families and Friends,

Our school is hosting a Pajama Day to help the kids at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia!We will be raising funds to support brain tumor research in honor of one of our own students Laney.

Laney is currently being featured in the CHOP Pajama Day Spotlight!

https://pajamaday.chop.edu/spotlights/ Laney has undergone five surgeries, two rounds of chemo,63 infusions and 25 rounds of proton radiation since being diagnosed. Clara Barton has been fortunate to have a miracle walking in our hallways everyday thanks to CHOP.

We Are Laney Strong!

CHOP is on the cusp of life-changing discoveries for children. They are transforming the well-being of children and creating healthier communities throughout Philadelphia and across the world.

Consider supporting us by making a tax-deductible donation as we say YAY to Pajama Day! Click the Donate button and add your child's name to the donation box. The classroom that raises the most money will be rewarded.

• Halloween Parade – 2:00pm around the exterior of the school building (inclement weather will force the parade to be held indoors, unfortunately not permitting parents to attend).

• Both events will be held on Monday, October 31, 2022.
