A Note From Our Principal
Dear Families,
December is finally here, and I am loving all of the holiday decorations I am seeing at CMUE! It is one of my favorite times of the year. Even though winter break is on the horizon, students still have several tasks to complete and assessments to take. Please make sure your student is getting plenty of rest and eating healthy…with a few Christmas cookies here and there. :) Give your students a bit of encouragement before they leave home each day. It does make an impact! It is also the time of year for winter coats, snow pants, boots, hats and mittens. Our students have two outside recesses during the day and we want to make sure they are warm!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. LaVictor
