Thanksgiving Baskets

CCES is sponsoring a Thanksgiving Basket project for families in need at our school.  These baskets will be provided without cost to families.  We will be providing a basket with all the "fixings" needed for a Thanksgiving dinner.  

If you would like to donate items for the baskets, please send donations with your student to their classroom the week of November 18 - 22.  For each item that is brought to school, children will be given a paper feather to "dress" a large paper turkey.  

Suggested items include: canned sweet potatoes, canned vegetables, canned cranberries, stuffing, canned or packet gravy, jello, pudding, pickles/olives, pie filling, ready made pie crust (not frozen), canned fruit, hot cocoa mix, marshmallows, etc.  Please send only non-perishable foods which have not expired.  WE CANNOT GIVE AWAY EXPIRED FOOD.

If you would like to receive a basket, please fill out the THANKSGIVING BASKET REQUEST FORM and return it to your child's teacher by Wednesday, November 20, 2019.  Baskets will be picked up at CCES on Monday, November 25, 2019 from 11:00 am - 6:00 pm.  If baskets are not picked up that Monday by 6:00 pm, it will be given to another family, as we cannot keep the food overnight.  

  

Winter Weather Information for Parents
With temperatures dropping, we remind everyone that with the snow and cold temperatures comes the need to send your children to school prepared for the cold and snowy weather. 

Recess is important for our students, so whenever possible, we will have students playing outside for recess unless the temperature or windchill is below zero.  Proper outerwear should include boots, hats, gloves or mittens, a warm coat, and snow pants.  If your student waits for the bus, they should also be dressed appropriately.  

Finally, please label your child's belongings - it is the best way to be sure it gets returned quickly.   

Parent Pick Up at CCES
If you plan to pick up your child at the end of the day, you will need to send a written note to the teacher or call the main office before 3:00 pm.  Teachers are sometimes absent, so sending the notice via e-mail may not work when there is a substitute teacher.  The student will receive a pass to leave the room and report to Gym 3 at the end of the school day.  Parents/guardians or person assigned to pick up will need to park their vehicle in the parking lot.  At 3:37 pm, the doors of the school will be unlocked for end of day pick up.  You will report the Gym 3 to find your child.  Staff members are present to assist.  

Our CCES students are smiling because they have been selected as the November Students of the Month.  We are honoring our students for their kindness and constant improvement in their classrooms. 

Well done Saints!
