To the CJP Community,
A heartfelt congratulations to MAPSS on a successful PEACE Night hosted at CJP last evening! It was a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together in the spirit of learning, connection, and celebration. Sincere thanks to everyone involved in the planning and execution of the event, to the volunteers who generously gave their time to set up and support the evening, and to the students and teachers from all three Montessori schools for contributing such beautiful and creative artwork for the silent auction. What a special night!
