Cedar Grove Friday Flash
November 1, 2024
Dear Cedar Grove Families:
It's been a busy and exciting week, and we want to recognize and express our appreciation to the following people for making Cedar Grove such a special place. Many thanks to:
- Our PTA, parent volunteers, and families for planning, preparing, and attending our Fall Festival last Saturday. It was a great success due to a group effort to make this a fun and enjoyable afternoon. Special thanks to Butler's Orchard for providing pumpkins, apples, and apple cider donuts. Don't forget to save the date for the next family event, Bingo Night, on Friday, November 15 at Hallie Wells.
- The PTA for providing the cultural arts assembly, Didgedownunder," yesterday morning. The students really enjoyed the program!
- Our room parents for all your work and preparation for class fall parties. The children loved the games, decorations, and treats, and we really appreciate your time in making this special for the students.
- All the families who provided donations during the food drive this week. Your contributions will soon be on their way to Damascus Help and will be made available to families that are in need.
