Join us for the Back-to-School Open House from 5:30-6:00 p.m. and then immediately following from 6:00-7:30 p.m. for the Back-to-School community potluck.


This year, our meal will be potluck-style, and we're asking everyone to help make it a success! Please sign up here to bring a main dish, side dish, or dessert to share and/or volunteer to help with setup, decor, or cleanup.


We are excited to welcome CES families and Calais community members to come together and celebrate the enriching school year ahead.
