Your PTO at Work:
Teacher Appreciation Week!

The first PTO Wicked-themed Teacher Appreciation Week event was a "POPular" day, featuring pop and popcorn!

On Monday, many families stayed after school in spite of the rain to chalk the (covered) walks with messages of thanks to the teachers as their Tuesday morning treat.
Don't forget to participate in other events that we're not listing here (they're a surprise for CP's wonderful staff!).

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Check the Lost & Found!

It's overflowing with winter coats, fleece jackets, sweatshirts, lunch boxes, and more.
All unclaimed items will be donated very soon!

Band Concert & Art Show

Band Concert Wednesday May 7, 2025 6:30 PM All-Purpose Room Our Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Bands will perform a spring concert on Wednesday May 7, 2025. There will be two performances, morning and evening. Our morning concert at 9:30 a.m. is for CP’s students. Family and friends are invited to attend our evening concert at 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria. (For the evening concert, band students are asked to meet in the gym at 6:20 p.m. for tuning and warmups.) The dress code for the day concert is regular school attire. Students will still be attending PE, recess, art, etc. and will need to wear the appropriate clothes to participate in those classes. However, the evening concert is a special event. We do not have a specific dress code, but musicians are allowed to dress up. Please contact me if your child will NOT be able to attend the performance. I look forward to seeing you at the concert. Sincerely, Colleen Farrell Instrumental Music Teacher Community Park Elementary School ColleenFarrell@princetonk12.org
