Dear Center Community,

It was so fun seeing students donning their finest apparel for picture day. Thank you to the many parent volunteers who assisted to make sure it went smoothly. Did you know that the proceeds from purchased packages go to the CSPTO to support enrichment? Thank you for supporting our students in yet another way.

We look forward to our next community event on Saturday, October 22nd. Fingers crossed for good weather for Trunk or Treat. Please see the CSPTO Pulse for more details. The link to the pulse is below.

A reminder that Tuesday is a half-day for all students. Students will be dismissed at 11:45. Please make sure your teachers and the front office are aware of any changes to your dismissal plans.

Have a great week.

Warm Regards,

Dianna and Donna
