The mission of Cedar Grove Elementary is to grow our students into respectful, curious and productive citizens.
"One Book, One School"
Celebrating Our Journey with Cake!
This week, our school community completed our journey through The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy. The story is about kindness, acceptance and bravery.
We want to give a HUGE thank you to our PTO for sponsoring our culminating celebration with mini-cupCAKES and juice boxes for all our students! Also, we want to thank Shoprite of Route 37 for their support of our event!
If you and your family have any feedback about this initiative, I welcome you to share it in this google form!
