End of Year Wrap Up
Another school year is rapidly approaching the end of the year. CW PTA would like to thank every family that joined PTA, attended Spirit nights, purchased Spirit Wear, sent in Box Tops, attended Carnival and participated in our Fundraisers this year. Your support during the year, both financial as well as volunteering personal time, has made this another successful year! With our joint efforts, PTA sponsored enrichment activities for each grade, purchased equipment for specials teachers, helped ensure no students at CW went without food or needed clothing, sponsored National Elementary Honor Society chapter at CW, ensured all classes had classroom parties for Winter and Valentine parties, purchased snacks for state testing, hosted our first family night dance to celebrate the conclusion of testing just to name a few things your support has made possible. And of course PTA will be sponsoring Super Kids Day on May 20th - the last day of school. This will be a day filled with indoor and outdoor activities - inflatables, tug of war, sumo suits, races, etc with sno cones and popsicles.
CW PTA Board of Directors again would like to thank each of you for your support this year. A quick thank you to the CW PTA Board of Directors and Chairs of 2015-2016 for making this a great year! Have a fun and safe summer.
