Cedar Reader: PTC Edition

All current parents and guardians of CPMS students are automatically members of the PTC.

Our events, programs, school support, and enthusiasm make up this vibrant volunteer community and are indeed, POWERED BY YOU.

A round of applause for the generous community members who stepped up to achieve our goal of 100 individual donors.

Er... actually 99 individual donors :)

Though we are one donor short, we're celebrating this little fundraiser-that-could as a success. In a bizzaro world of COVID, murder hornets, election stress, and CDL, we're just gonna go ahead and CALL THIS A WIN!

100 donors (okay...99), including eight corporate sponsors, stepped up to provide an amazing total of $14,720. Every dollar will be put to good use this year, as the PTC continues to boost the CDL efforts of our students and staff.

Prepared to be that 100th Donor Hero? Here's a link to PayPal for the easiest no fuss, no gimmick fundraiser of them all.

Let's not hesitate to send our business their way & support them as they have supported us.

MASSIVE THANKS to everyone who donated $5 Starbucks cards to our December Staff Appreciation event. Our Director of Volunteers, Jenna Dornblaser, added them to these awesome winter gift bags that were given to all 78 CPMS staff members. The PTC Staff Appreciation budget is made possible by your generous PTC donation.

Another shoutout to the many parents and students who sent in their submissions for the online PTC Staff Appreciation Holiday Card. It was a huge success!

Here's to creating connections in 2021!

Last Wednesday, the Cedar Park PTC welcomed Kristopher Damiano, BSD TOSA for Socio-Emotional Learning to present on ways to identify & manage student stress (recap below).

Additionally, Dr. Anderson provided a quick CPMS update, Bettina Jeszenszky, PTC President, ran through several PTC items and Skye Kutansky, Treasurer, presented our YTD numbers.

Items of note included:

• Principal’s Report

• Our No Fuss Fundraising link is live!

• Thank you to Staff Appreciation Donors

• 2021-22 Cedar Park PTC Board needs you!

A full recap of the night's info & presentation is available HERE or in a translatable smore.

**A video of the night’s presentation will be available soon on Cedar Park’s YouTube channel.
