📢 PTO volunteers still needed!
Please consider donating your time and expertise for next year’s PTO. In addition to the opportunities listed below, we still need co-VPs to shadow the incoming presidents before being promoted to co-presidents for the 2025-2026 school year. Reach out to Dawn Ellis or Pat Attenasio this summer at caspto@gmail.com. We’re happy to talk through the roles and share our vision.
And a special shout-out/round of applause for our outgoing presidents, Lizzie DeSantis and Shannon Wright. This gig takes a ton of work, dedication, and passion. They crushed it all year long and helped make the CAS experience the best it can be. Hoorah!

Helping one of our CAS Families
As you know, a member of our CAS community, Danielle Moro, passed away on May 25, 2024 after a courageous six-year battle with cancer. (https://madisonmemorialhome.com/tribute/details/1161/Danielle-Moro/obituary.html) Friends of the family have organized a GoFundMe page (available at the link below) to help support her husband, John, and children, Nicolette and John.
