Dear Families,

Greetings from CFES. We are close to spring break and the end of the third nine weeks. Students are on break from March 10 - March 20 (Students return on March 21).

We had a great STEAM Night and a wonderful Craft Fair. We are excited for the 24 competition tonight!

Pre-registration for K students opens on March 6. If your child is going to be five years old by September 30, 2023, they can start kindergarten next school year! Once you complete your registration, we are having an all-day option on March 20 (8-4) to come bring paperwork needed. To begin pre-registration, please go to SCPS Website and on the bottom left, click on Student Registration. Flyers will be coming home soon and a message will be going out the community soon.

Attendance is important and we appreciate your support in making sure that students are at school each day. Please report are absence by calling the school and listen for the attendance extension.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our school community. Please know that our doors are always open. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach us by email, or by calling the main office at (540) 834-4569.

February seemed to take forever, but we’re FINALLY at Spring Break! Thank you Lifepoint Church -Spotsylvania for their Krispy Kreme donut pick-me-up in February, as well as to Jen Zagami at Ginigbakz for her surprise treat for staff. We have a Pick-Me-Up donation for March, but if you would like to volunteer for April or May, please let us know via email to cedarforestPTO@gmail.com. Thank you to those who filled supply requests during our LOVE Shower. If you still have supplies to send it, I know they will be put to good use.

Thank you to those who came out to support Chuck E. Cheese Spirit Night! Seeing Chuck E. Cheese at school was an awesome! We hope those who were able to attend had a great time! Our final Spirit Night of the year scheduled for April 6th at Tilly’s Homemade Ice Cream. Tilly’s is a local ice cream shop known for their house made small-batch ice cream. Their shop is just over the river across from Ferry Farm. We hope you’ll make plans to join us!

Our Krispy Kreme fundraiser was a great success! We were just shy of our 100 dozen goal. Thank you to all who shared and purchased. We hope to do another Krispy Kreme fundraiser next school year.

The Spirit Wear Store is open for the final time this school year. You can order at this link: https://cres0223.itemorder.com. The store will close on FRIDAY, 10 March. We will have your orders back to you before Easter. This is a great opportunity to add a fun school spirit item to an Easter basket!
