Notes from the Administration

Dear CWES Families,

We hope to see many of you tonight for Bingo Night! Doors open at 5:45 PM, first game at 6:15 PM. Get ready for an exciting evening with celebrity callers, and fantastic prizes! Our SCA will also being selling snacks, cash only. Hope to see you soon!

This week, during their specials block, we met with each grade level to review student rights and responsibilities as part of our midyear process. We also revisited our PAWS values (Persevere, Accept responsibility, Work together, Show respect), which guide our behavior and create a positive learning environment. Reconnecting with our students this week provided a valuable opportunity to reinforce shared expectations and build a stronger school community as we head into the second half of the year.

Join us for the Quarter 3 Family Book Club: CWES Loves Sports on Thursday, March 20th at 8:15 am in the library and/or art room. An adult must be in attendance with their student.

We are so excited to have the author of A Long Pitch Home, Natalie Lorenzi, join us for this upcoming book club! Students and families can choose from one of 2 books: the picture book: Dancing the Tinikling or the chapter book: A Long Pitch Home. Families are encouraged to read the books alongside their students. You can sign up using the flyer found in Tuesday Folders or the following link: CWES Family Book Club - Quarter 3. Please contact Mona Mouneimne (mmmouneimne@fcps.edu) if you have any questions

Have a wonderful weekend!
