We are looking forward to meeting with all of you next week at our conferences. Conference bookings are currently live; you can book through MyCBE.
Now that winter has finally arrived please ensure that your child is dressed warmly for the weather so that they are comfortable playing outside and dry for the afternoon.
We are collecting donations of non-perishable food items and/or grocery gift cards (any denomination) to support some of our families in need. If you are interested please send it “Ms. El’s office” through your child. We will be collecting until Dec 6. Thank you in advance for helping to support our larger community.
