Cedar Grove Friday Flash
February 15, 2019
Dear Cedar Grove Families,
Thank you to our PTA for planning a wonderful Bingo night last Friday and to the many families that were able to attend. It was such a fun night of food, games, and time to spend together as a school community.
Also, we want to thank John Gillenwater for an outstanding strings cluster concert last Wednesday evening. Our students did a fabulous job and provided an enjoyable evening of music.
We hope we see you next Thursday, February 21 at our STEM/Science Expo night.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mr. Derby and Mrs. German
