CFF NEWSLETTER

Community Families,

Thanksgiving Break is next week from November 21- November 25. On behalf of CFF, I’d like to take this opportunity during this season of thanks to express my sincere gratitude to the CMCS community. I’m grateful we have such caring teachers, staff, and administrators who work tirelessly every day to keep our students safe and encourages them to learn and grow. I’m thankful for all the parents and guardians who generously give their time and volunteer at school, CFF, and/or Council. Your enthusiasm and engagement make our school better and stronger. I’m so appreciative of everyone’s support of CFF fundraisers. Without your support we couldn’t raise the necessary funds we need to keep all our amazing programs at our school so thank you!

Have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving everyone.

Best,

Kate Harrington

CFF, President

Read-a-Thon 2022 is a family fundraiser that encourages our children to read while raising money for the school. From November 18 to December 16, students will be participating in a Jumanji-like jungle adventure game where they will compete in teams to see who can raise the most money and read the most minutes. They will roll the dice, make their move, and plunge into the most imaginative fundraiser ever to yell, “Read-a-Thon-Ji,” and win the game!

Please help us reach our fundraising goal of $50,000 by supporting Read-a-Thon and our students. Proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards vital enrichment programs including P.E., Art, Technology, Drama, Music and much more, which is all funded by generous donors like YOU!
