News from Principal Schwartz
Dear CTE Families:
Thank you to our 4th and 5th grade Student Leadership Committee for spreading so much joy and kindness throughout our building last Wednesday. Our students covered our sidewalks with positive messaging, decorated lockers with positive affirmations and created posters to demonstrate kindness. Staff brought students outside in the beautiful weather to draw images and write kind messages.
A HUGE SHOUT OUT to our WONDERFUL CEPO group for organizing and providing dinners for our staff for conferences. We appreciate you all! It sure is a lovely group to join! Reach out to Ann Beaupre (teamcepo@gmail.com) if you are interested in joining in the fun!
All my best,
Jen

Cougar Sweatshirts
CEPO is excited to announce that our Stroll shirt design was so popular that we're offering it as a sweatshirt to the entire ISD 12 community! A portion of the proceeds will go to our playground improvement campaign.
Sweatshirt Facts:
Sale is through online order only from 10/20 - 11/4. Orders will be delivered before Christmas. Pickup days and locations are TBD and will be communicated after we get an ETA from the vendor after the order is submitted.
Sizes are from Youth XS - Adult XXXL.
Cost: $40 for youth sizes, $50 for adult sizes.
We have samples (sans design) to try on! If you'd like to try on, touch, feel, and/or confirm your desired size, note it in the order below and we'll reach out to you to set something up. Sweatshirts appear to run true to size but are a 65% cotton/ 35% polyester blend. Consider possible shrinkage after washing while ordering.
Payment options are Venmo, PayPal, cash, or check made out to CEPO. More details in the form.
If you want more than one sweatshirt, please complete this form for each sweatshirt. For example: I want three sweatshirts; therefore, I complete the form three different times.
Questions? We're happy to help! Email questions to teamcepo@gmail.com
