Message from Mrs. Williams

CCI Families,

🏃‍♀️ CCI PTO Walk-a-Thon Envelopes are in Backpacks! 🏃‍♂️

We’re getting ready to Walk-a-Thon for our Rangers! This year, our PTO is raising money to make exciting improvements to our school grounds, including a GaGa Ball pit and courtyard upgrades. Best of all, 100% of the money raised stays right here at Cedar Crest!

Students can earn one prize drawing ticket for every $10 they raise, with even more fun incentives along the way! Students who raise $100 will earn a pizza party at Homestead Pizza, and students who raise $250 will earn a special pizza party with Mrs. Williams. 🍕 We’ll also have chances to ice cream sundae Mrs. Williams and have teachers dress up in inflatable costumes!

All donations are due October 9, and the Walk-a-Thon will take place that morning. Let’s work together to make this fundraiser a HUGE success for our students! 💚💛🏃‍♀️
