It is important that all stakeholders share their thoughts and ideas about our budgetary priorities. Please take a moment to complete this survey and add any comments. Your suggestions and opinions are valuable to our team as we organize and prioritize our 2025-2026 budget requests. All surveys should be completed by .Monday, October 28th

• Reminder- If your child only wants to get a milk from our cafeteria, they will have to purchase the milk for 55 cents. If they purchase a whole meal, it is free and the milk will come with the meal.

• THANK You to our 5th grade helpers! These students volunteer to sit with Pre-k students at lunch demonstrating and modeling responsibility and kindness!!

• Our focus in the Cafeteria for the month of October is for students to be independent and responsible in the cafeteria. This looks like:

• Students in grades 1-5 being able to open all lunch items independently

• Students picking up after themselves

• Students in grades 3-5 being mindful to get all condiments, napkins, and utensils when going through the lunch line.

Thank you for reinforcing these behaviors at home!

Holiday Help: Each year, our school seeks to assist families that may be in need of help during the holiday season. If you are not receiving assistance from another organization (church, community organization, etc.) for the holidays and need our support, please complete the form linked here with your family's requests or contact Alicia Kennedy (alkennedy@ccps.org or 410-996-6220) for a paper copy of the request form to be sent home.

We are currently unsure how many families we will be able to assist, however we will do our best to help each family in some way. Please understand that since all items are donated, we cannot assure what items you will receive. You will be responsible for picking up your gifts when they arrive. We will send home notification of when that particular date will be at a later time. Please reach out with any questions.
