End-of-Year Staff Gifts

As always, the CP PTO is collecting donations for end-of-year gifts for CP's wonderful staff (security and front office workers, specials teachers, cafeteria staff, janitors, guidance counselor, therapists, etc.). 

If you would like to participate, you can contribute in the following ways:

  • Zelle: Send Zelle payment to treasurer@cppto.org (Note: "CP Staff Gift").

  • Venmo: Send Venmo payment to @CPPTO (Note: "CP Staff Gift").

  • Check: Payable to "CP PTO" mailed or dropped off to Community Park School, Attn: CP PTO, 372 Witherspoon Street, Princeton, NJ, 08542. (Note: "CP Staff Gift") 

(Your room parents will have reached out separately about gifts for your child's classroom teachers.)

Note that there are many ways to recognize the CP staff that don't involve a monetary gift! Please encourage your child to make a drawing or write a thank-you note for a staff member who made a difference this year--those gestures mean the world to teachers and staff!
