We would like to exteend a huge thank you to CE PTA parents for partnering with Lovepacs to obtain food for our CE families in need, and for unloading and orgamizing the food. We appreciate you!

Be on the lookout for upcoming food donation opportunities! We are working to create a plan for our CE families and community to help our own families in need of food, as well.

If you are a family in need, please reach out to Monica Gonzalez and/ or Bailey Skinner. They will be able to assist you.

Grandparents Day is one of our favorite events of the year! Thank you to all of the grandparents, great grandparents, moms, dads, and others that joined us for breakfast!

National Mental Health Lifeline 988- does not have to be a crisis and always answered by a licensed therapist.

“If we could look into each other's hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.”

What better way to show the teachers love than to sponsor their lunch for their birthday!?! This month, we will be celebrating July, August and September birthdays. Please sponsor a teacher today with a $13 donation to CE PTA. We will be purchasing a Chick-fil-a lunch for them on September 19. This is also our CFA spirit day, so the PTA will get money back from CFA as a fundraiser. Its a WIN-WIN for all!
