CRES Fun Friday
CRES Fun Friday - Spots are filling up fast!
On Friday, April 15th all students at Cumberland Road Elementary will have the opportunity to participate in the CRES Fun Friday which will take place right after school from 3:40-5:30pm. There will be something for everyone to enjoy! Not only will students have an opportunity to dance to music from a live DJ or watch a movie while eating pizza in the cafeteria, but there will also be fun activities and free time on the playground and in the open gym. We are limited to the first 200 reservations.
This is a fundraiser sponsored by the 4th grade teachers at Cumberland Road. The money raised will be used to offset the costs related to the 4th graders' Southern Indiana field trip in May.
