Happy Halloween CME Fam!

It’s been a fun week so far, full of energy and door decorating! We are so excited for our Halloween Parade tomorrow at 9:00 am outside. Come join us around the front of the school to see all the great costumes.

I wanted to send a big thank you to you all! Before break, I asked you to nominate a staff member for an Apple Award and we ended up with more than 30! I loved reading all the wonderful things you had to say about our staff!

Updated Security

With the addition of our full-day preschool program, Little Pups, we have noticed an increase in unchecked visitors in the building during drop-off and pick up.

To ensure the safety of all students and staff, we are implementing a new procedure for all parents entering the school.

All parents entering the building must check in at the front office to receive a visitor badge.
Parents of students in our Preschool B and Little Pups programs will now be issued a Raptor ID lanyard upon check-in for easy identification by our staff.

Student safety remains our highest priority. Thank you for following this important procedure!

Veterans Day

On November 11th, we are excited to celebrate Veterans Day, a time when we honor the selfless dedication of the people who protect our freedoms. It is a heartfelt tradition here at CME to bring our community together for this important celebration.

We warmly invite any family member who is a Veteran to join us for lunch with their student on November 11th. It’s a meaningful way for our children to personally connect with the sacrifices made for our country. Lunch will be our treat for all Veterans who attend!

We also want to create a stunning display of appreciation throughout our hallways. In today's Thursday folder, you will find a form to "Spotlight a Veteran" in your family. Please fill it out and include a copy of a photograph (no originals please) so we can publicly honor their service.

Thank you for helping us teach our students the value of service and for sharing your heroes with us.

Lunch times:

K 11:00-11:20
1st & 2nd grade - 11:20-11:40
3rd grade - 11:40-12:00
4th grade - 12:00-12:20
6th grade - 12:20-12:40
5th grade - 12:40-1:00

With warm wishes,

Candice

BOOK FAIR -

Please take a moment to check out the sign up genius for the Fall Book Fair! Lots of fun is coming to the CME Library!

We will be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair Nov. 11th through the 13th. The Book Fair will be open each day from 7:45am - 4:30pm.

This is a perfect time to stock up on the perfect gifts for the holidays or books to support continued reading during long breaks! We will have lots of titles to fill your shopping list! The proceeds from the Book Fair helps CME purchase new books for the library. Thank you in advance for supporting the CME Library!

Fondly,

ORIGINAL WORKS FUNDRAISER -

We’re excited to announce that we will be partnering with Original Works this Fall, the original art-based fundraising company! Students created artwork at school and you can have your child’s art reproduced onto a variety of keepsake products ranging from Mugs to Magnets.

Ordering will be done online through Nov. 11, 2025.

The products make great holiday gifts and birthday gifts for family members as well as wonderful keepsakes for the students.

Orders will arrive at school in early December.

Complete details on how to order and a preview of your students artwork will be sent home today in Thursday folders.

And the icing on the cake is our school earns a profit from every order placed!

Thank you for supporting this unique and creative program!
