Host a CP Yard Sign

It's open enrollment season for PPS Pre-K and Kindergarten. Please help our school to raise the visibility of the DLI program by hosting a yard sign for a few weeks. Anyone interested may request one by emailing cppto@cppto.org and letting us know when you'd prefer to grab it from CP (drop off, 3 p.m. pick up, or Aftercare pick up). Thanks for spreading the word about DLI!

Don't miss out on any of the remaining adults-only parties by signing up below.
