Candy & Snack Wrapper Recycling
The PTO's Green Team installed a candy and snack wrapper recycling bin in the CP entrance vestibule. Please save your flexible plastic candy and snack wrappers and bring them to school to recycle. |

Check the Lost & Found!
If any of these lost items look familiar, please come to school to retrieve them from the Lost & Found (located in the hallway near the CP Café)! |

Stamps Needed for Global Read Aloud
Please consider donating stamps to the Library so we can send postcards to other classes participating in the Global Read Aloud Project! The Global Read Aloud Project is a book club with other classes from around the world and across the nation. We read and discuss the same books and participate in fun projects, including a postcard exchange. Thanks for supporting this project! Mrs. Jones CP Librarian |

Winter Clothing Drive
Colecta De Abrigos Y Ropa De Invierno
CP's Annual Winter Clothing Drive is coming soon! It's time to start going through your closets to find gently-used cold weather gear to donate. Each year, our PTO coordinates the collection, organization, and distribution of clean coats, blankets, and winter accessories from drop boxes at schools across the District. Many Princeton families rely on this yearly event for their essential winter gear, so please take a few moments to sort through your outgrown and duplicate items.
