College Week - November 12 - 16
Gig Em! Hook Em! Sic Em! Wreck Em!
This is a GREAT opportunity to begin talking about College with our students.
We will play fight songs, provide some college facts, think about future goals, and talk about what students can do, even in elementary school, to start thinking about all the possibilities for their future. And of course, students and staff will show their college pride with “wear your college colors” during the week!
Tailgate Teacher's Lunch - November 16th
The Hospitality Committee will be holding a Tailgate Teacher's Lunch on November 16th. This will mark the end of college week and be a celebration for the teachers. This is also the Friday before Thanksgiving break, and we want the CPES staff to know how thankful we are for them! The Hospitality Committee is working on getting donations for hot dogs, ribs, and/or chicken wings. We will ask our wonderful Wildcat volunteers for donations of chips, dips, soda, fruit and vegetable trays, and desserts.
