SPECIAL GUEST—SARAH JANE OLSZEWSKI

Sarah will be talking about the focus of the FDK (rationale and some program/curriculum info).

THANK YOU

Thank You to the many families who took part in both the Book Drive and the Food Drive during the month of December. 

 

We donated 19 boxes of books to the Children's Book Bank in Toronto.  

They were so appreciative of our generous donation to them!

 

We also gave over 350lbs of food to the Orangeville Food Bank to help support their needs during the Christmas holidays.

 

Well Done, CMES! 

Looking For Help

Hello Families,

For the past 3 years we have held a FAMILY GAMES NIGHT in February.  We would like to do the same this February but we are in need of someone (or a couple of people) to give leadership to the event.  If you would be interested in heading up this event, or for more information, please email Barb White at barbwhite.cmessc@hotmail.com.  It is a fun, relaxing evening of getting to know other families while enjoying playing board games, card games, and other types of games that appeal to children and families.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Milk Tokens

To let parents know, the milk tokens have been distributed to all classroom teachers.  If your child is missing theirs, please let Lorrie Wren know.

Welcome to 2013!
