Teachers and staff will receive a Scrip gift certificate which allows them to select a Scrip card of their choice. CPTO asks that you turn in your donation by December 13th. A form will be sent home with your youngest child this week.

Thanks to our Lost & Found Leaders, and Mrs. Rodden, our lost items have been organized and relocated to our cafeteria! The majority of these items have been here since last year. If you know your child is missing a key winter apparel item, have them check the Lost & Found before winter break. Unclaimed items will be donated after the first of the year, so feel free to stop in and look for your missing items!

Invoices went home on Tuesday for November balances due. We ask that additional funds are paid to your family lunch account to avoid having a negative balance.
