Dear CME Families,

As we wrap up another amazing week of learning, having some fun, and loving each other, I just would like to say how very grateful I am for our students and families. We have such an incredible community!

Hello CME families!

I hope you all enjoyed a little extra time with your families last weekend! We are cruising through January full speed to make sure our students are learning and growing here at CME.

Hello CME Families!

I hope your week is going beautifully and that you are settling into the rhythm of January with ease! I was recently listening to a podcast that explored the natural necessity of finding rest and comfort during these winter months. It was a lovely reminder that, just like the world outside, we also need to slow down and rejuvenate alongside nature. I’ve been trying to truly embrace that "wintering" mindset lately by being more intentional and mindful of my evening and weekend time. I hope you can find a moment to do the same. Consider this your permission to grab a favorite book and a warm blanket, and make some well-deserved time for coziness!

Welcome back CME family!

I hope you all had a wonderful winter (not-so-winterish) break! Our staff came back refreshed and ready to dive into learning, growing, and celebrating with our kiddos. I am so thankful for this very special place every single day!

Seasons Greetings CME Community!

We are really in the holiday spirit around here at CME. We are having a door decorating contest put on by the student leadership and I have had some amazing Kindie moms in here making our main level look so beautiful and festive! Also, our first graders have been reading lots of books that follow the model of the Three Little Pigs, so I had to share a picture of their Wanted Posters! Check out the photos below!
