If you have not done so yet, please REGISTER your student ASAP at https://cedarisland.pledgestar.com/Welcome.html? and SHARE your donation link with friends and family! If you would like to pledge with a check, please have them made out to Cedar Island PTO, and send them in as soon as possible. FUN RUN / STUDENT’S NAME should be in the memo line.

The run is on Friday, September 19th* at 10:00 am. Families are invited to come cheer on their runners.

*Should there be inclement weather on 9/19, we will move the run to Friday, September 26th (also at 10:00 am) and provide additional information as needed. Think SUNNY thoughts, and hope we don’t need the backup date!

We are looking for a few volunteers the day of the run as well as the backup date. Please check out the available slots here:

Please send any questions to me, or our PTO Fun Run Team at CedarIslandFunRun@gmail.com

We appreciate your support!

Cedar Island PTO

Is your child struggling with naming and controlling their emotions?

Are they overwhelmed by little struggles?

Are they going through a lot of changes outside of school and need some extra support?

We are happy to announce that we are once again partnering with Veemah Wellness to offer therapy services here at Cedar Island during the school day. Gentry Taylor is our provider and he is here on a daily basis! If you have interest in your scholar receiving this support, you can reach out to our school social worker, Jennifer Taylor at 763-450-8122 or by email at taylorj2@district279.org to complete the referral process.

When you dine at Culver's on October 1, 15% of all sales will be donated to Cedar Island PTO.

We need volunteers to help make the night a success. Please pick a 1 hour time slot and show up a few minutes before to help out! Volunteers and Children are an absolute must to help with the increased traffic. Volunteers and children will be used for cleaning tables and chairs in the dining room, running food out to tables, and greeting guests.

Cedar Island is partnering with Every Meal to provide weekend food again this year.

All Cedar Island families are eligible to register. There are no enrollment requirements.

There are five bag choices to choose from: www.everymeal.org/food-bags.

To sign up: Fill out the brochure that will come home with your students this week or contact Jennifer Taylor (763-450-8122, TaylorJ2@District279.org).

If you have multiple scholars at Cedar Island, you may register them separately and receive one bag of food for each child. The bags do not need to be the same color.

You may cancel or change your bag choice at any time.

Bags will be placed in your child's backpack at the end of the week.

If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Taylor (763-450-8122, TaylorJ2@District279.org).
