SIGN-UP! Lunch with the Principal
The students who have participated in this cannot stop talking about it. There are still spaces available so be sure to sign up your child!
Kindergarten through 3rd grade students will have an opportunity to have lunch with Mr. Liss and friends! The goal of these lunches is for students to share what they love about CAS, what we can bring to CAS, and general fun conversation about interests. This is also an opportunity for Mr. Liss to get to know your child even better! Please understand that this is not mandatory.
Children will be able to pack or buy his/her individual lunch.
