Kindness Week - Find ways to be kind to those around you!

CP has been celebrating kindness throughout the month of November. Ask your children about the conversations they have been having in their classrooms. Brainstorm ways they can be extra kind this week!

CP Online Auction a Success!

A big thank you to all who participated in CP's first ever online auction! The bidding was fierce and fun--and we raised $8,408.00! These funds will help support special enrichment programming for all CP students in art, literature, performance and more. ¡Muchas gracias!

Fall Fruit Fundraiser
Online sale ends Sunday, November 21

This is the final week to purchase fresh oranges, grapefruits, apples, and more--all shipped directly from Florida to New Jersey. For product info, prices and to place an order, please visit: https://www.floridafruitstore.com/CommunityPark.

Amazon Smile

You can also use AmazonSmile on your mobile app: Open the app and find "Settings" in the main menu (☰). Tap on "AmazonSmile" and follow the on-screen instructions to turn on AmazonSmile on your phone.

McCaffrey's Receipts

Remember to save your receipts when you shop at McCaffrey's Food Market in the Princeton Shopping Center. CP receives 0.95% from each receipt, which adds up quickly. Just send them in regularly--they expire after three months.

Box Tops

Redeeming Box Tops clips is easier than ever. No clipping! Just a quick scan and done. Here's how: 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.
