News from Candice

Hello Cougar Families! Wow what a week it has been here at CME. I hope your kiddos are coming home exhausted and ready for bed. My wish is that you all have a happy and safe Halloween!

Boosterthon - Our Boosterthon has been so successful! The kids and I had a blast dancing yesterday! We have so far raised $24,000. We are SO close to our goal of $30,000 that we are leaving the donation window open through the weekend (you can still get on to MyBooster.com and register to donate until Monday at midnight). There is still time to donate to support upgraded classroom technology!

Halloween - We had a successful Halloween today! It was so great to see so many parents on our parade route! See below for some great photos. Speaking of Halloween we are always so thankful for any leftover Halloween candy you can donate to our school for our staff. Our staff loves the treats during the day!!
