Lost & Found

Please check the Lost & Found the next time you find yourself at CP (or ask your child to take a look before the school day begins!). It's teeming with coats, sweatshirts, and sweaters. Please click for images of lost items  -- and retrieve your family's missing things before the season of lost mittens begins!

Cozy sweatshirts, flannel pants, winter hats, and fleece jackets are now on sale through our partnership with Princeton Threads! A portion of every purchase supports CP. Shipping is free on purchases made through Dec. 1 -- and gear can be delivered to school in time for the holidays!

McCaffrey's Receipts Save your receipts when you shop at McCaffrey's Food Market in the Princeton Shopping Center. CP gets 0.95% from each receipt, which adds up quickly. Drop your receipts in the McCaffrey's box located in CP's main entrance vestibule.	Box Tops Download the Box Tops app to your phone. Shop as you normally do. Scan your store receipts to find participating products. The app will automatically credit CP’s Box Tops earnings.

"This is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who are returning to their summer home on Golden Pond. He is a retired professor, nearing eighty, with heart palpitations and a failing memory—but still is tart-tongued, observant, and eager for life as ever. Ethel, his wife, delights in all the small things that have enriched their long life together. On Golden Pond navigates the ups and downs of family life and the importance of ultimately enjoying the moments we have."
