CMEA Weekly News
October 12th, 2023
We also want to thank all of you who attended our Donuts and Grownups event last Friday. We had an incredible turnout, and we loved seeing all of the kids and adults having a great time! (Sorry for all the hyped-up kiddos, teachers!)
School Grounds Improvement Survey CLOSES OCTOBER 18TH!
If you haven't already, please take some time to share with us your thoughts on what to put our fundraising dollars toward.
Final bid information for a free-standing electronic marquee came in right as Boosterthon was ending, and it’s a much higher cost than anticipated, unfortunately. So to provide CME families an opportunity to have a voice in improvements at school, CMEA researched numerous ideas from parents and staff over the years and presented it in this slide deck.
Please review the slide deck and cast a vote for your top 2 improvements.
And don't forget to ask your kids what they want to see done at the school!
The survey will be open until October 18th.

In just over a year, our total donation received is typically in excess of $15,000. If you haven’t registered your rewards number (phone number) yet, please do so. It’s quick and easy and a great way to earn funds for our school. This money helps us to pay for teacher and school grants and host some of our events.

Watch D.O.G.S. is a program that gives dads the opportunity to spend either a half or whole day in the building with their children. You will help in classrooms and go to lunch and recess with your child.
The purpose of the program:
- To provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is essential.
- To provide extra sets of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying. All dads are encouraged to be a Watch D.O.G.S. Dad at least once a year.
Upcoming CMEA Events: Ongoing
We are always looking for volunteers for Teacher/Staff Appreciation, our Daughter Event, our Son Event, School Beautification, our Spring Fundraiser, etc. If you would like to volunteer with CMEA in any way, please let us know.
