Cayuse Prairie November STAMPEDE
A quick rundown of events and activities at Cayuse Prairie!
Pastries with the Principal 🥐
I’d love to invite you to join me on Monday, November 16th for an informal morning of pastries and conversation!
There’s no agenda and no presentation, just a relaxed chance to ask questions, share ideas, or simply chat and get to know one another. Whether you have something on your mind or just want to put a face to a name, I’d love to see you.
Come grab a pastry and stay as long as you like.
When: Monday, November 16th, 8:00am
Where: Principal's Office (don't worry, you're not in trouble! 😂)
I hope to see you there!
