Staff Appreciation Food cart-- Next Donation is March 21st!
Hello, Copper Canyon Families!
We are continuing the Staff Appreciation Food Cart into the 2022 school year. It's an easy way to help out and let the teachers/staff know how grateful we are for their hard work and dedication during this difficult year.
All items must be store bought and individually wrapped, nothing homemade. If items are not packaged individually (e.g., pack of Costco cookies, etc.) please make sure that they can easily be taken without touching the other food in the pack (i.e., with a napkin or tongs). Please bring items to the front office on the date specified (there are several choices). If you or a family member are not feeling well or have been quarantined for any reason, please remove yourself from the donation list.

Birthday Marquee Update
Starting in January 2022:
- Your request MUST be submitted at least 1 week prior to the requested display date. This is stated on the Google form. Due to short staffing and the regular front office duties, we are not able to honor requests made in less time.
- Payment must be received prior to the message being scheduled. If you are not sure if your payment went through, you may email Sadhana Nigro at ccesmoney@gmail.com.
Thank you for supporting our staff and PTO with this change.
