Cedar Grove Friday Flash

Thank you to all the families who came out for McTeacher night at McDonalds on Tuesday evening! The children enjoyed seeing friends, having a fun meal, and seeing a surprise visitor - Grover! Many thanks to our PTA for providing this fundraising opportunity and to be together as a school community.

Beginning on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, schools will begin the process of converting air conditioning to heat. Air conditioning will not be available after the changeover process begins. As the weather may be warmer or cooler, please be sure your child is dressed appropriately. Children will continue to go outdoors for recess if the temperature is above 32 degrees.

MCPS is committed to raising awareness of the importance of mental health! Mental Health Awareness Week is October 21-25 and each day Cedar Grove students and staff will honor relationships, healthy habits, community and wellness. Please click on this link to see our schedule for the week.

We hope to see you this Monday at Open House. The hours for visitation are 9:30-11:00 a.m. and 2:00-3:00 p.m. As a reminder, please do not bring younger children or siblings, and any cars parked on the blacktop must be removed at 11:00, as students will be going out to recess shortly after the morning visitation time.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Another busy week has gone by! The October Media Monthly has been updated to reflect the new media lessons as well as all the information about the upcoming Pink-Out video and the Great Pumpkin event. The deadline for all of our pink-out pictures is Thursday, October 31 so I can start compiling the video. The drop off time for our Great Pumpkin event is after school on Thursday October 24. If you cannot bring the pumpkins in on Thursday afternoon, you may bring them in before school Friday morning. We are also doing a Give What you Can Canned Food Drive starting October 21 and information about what can be donated during this drive is linked to the Media Monthly. Have a great weekend!

Please click the link below for the October overview of what your students will be doing in Art, General Music, Instrumental Music, and Physical Education. We hope you will take a few moments to read what is happening during these instructional spaces.
