PLEASE ATTEND THE BOE LONG-TERM PLANNING MEETING TOMORROW!
Tomorrow, Tuesday, March 21 at 6:00 pm - LINK HERE
This is the BOE's long-term planning meeting about demographics and district organization. JP and LB are participating to push to have CP take on many of their students, especially with the projected increase of students in the district. Please participate to have strong CP representation to ensure we have voiced our opinions on how our school should be structured. Also, go here for information on all future BOE meetings.
CP STEAM Day - Call for Presenters!
STEAM DAY is approaching! We are looking for presenters on topics that include Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math! This year we've added the "A" to include Arts! It's an amazing day filled with presentations to the students. The presentations are only 15 minutes each as classes cycle through the day! I had the opportunity to present last year and it was so great to be a part of the day! Please consider presenting in any of the five (5) areas!
For more info or to present, please reach out to Chris Santarpio at CPSteamDay@gmail.com. If you know of anyone else (company, university, high school, etc) that would be interested in presenting (or any suggestions) for STEAM Day, please also let us know! Thank you!
Kick Off to Spring Break Candygrams to benefit Trenton Cats Rescue
Friday, Mar. 23 - Wednesday, Mar. 29
Send anyone a Candygram to celebrate Spring Break! Students can send them to friends or teachers, and parents can even buy them for their children. Forms are to go home in folders on Friday the 23rd, and the last day to send them back is the 29th. Candygrams will be delivered on the 30th. All sales benefit the Trenton Cats Rescue!

Sustainable Princeton Recycling Program
Did you know that one cell phone thrown in a landfill can pollute 40,000 gallons of groundwater*? Sustainable Princeton can help upcycle and recycle some of your hard-to-recycle items, like cell phones and accessories, plastic film, batteries, ink cartridges, and reusable bags. Help keep these items out of the landfill. Simply drop the items off outside the Sustainable Princeton office on the second floor of 1 Monument Drive, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and we’ll take care of the rest. Feel free to stop in and learn more about Sustainable Princeton!
