International Night – March 18
Our annual CCES International Night is on March 18, 2026 from 6:30-8pm! This is a special tradition at CCES when students and families come together to celebrate the diversity of our school community. There are two ways to help make this event great:
1. Become a Country Table Host: Share your heritage and connect with our community by hosting a country table! Showcase your culture with a colorful display, artifacts, photos, interesting facts, activities, and/or traditional food to share. Each country table host will receive half a cafeteria table sized space for your display. Table space is limited, so sign up asap and be sure to indicate your country.
2. Volunteer Opportunities: Make this event even more spectacular by lending a helping hand. We’re searching for volunteers to assist with set-up and clean-up. Every contribution makes a difference!
Please sign up as a table host and/or volunteer to help make this a special and fun night for our school community:

Holiday Shop – Dec. 2 – 4, 4:15 – 7pm in the Music Room
Our PTA Holiday Shop is coming up the week following Thanksgiving! This is a wonderful opportunity for kids (CCES students & their siblings) to shop for the holiday that’s special to their family and choose gifts for their loved ones – for Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, or New Year – or just for fun!
We need plenty of volunteers to help run the shop! Sign up here to help: https://www.signupgenius.com/…/30E0D4AAEAD29ABFE3…
The Shop will run over 3 consecutive afternoons after school – Tuesday December 2nd to Thursday December 4th. Gifts will range in price from 50 cents to $20, with the vast majority of gifts costing less than $5 each.
Don’t forget we are collecting donations of new or like-new small gift items to supplement our inventory for this year’s holiday shop. Send in new or like-new items to the front office at school marked “holiday shop” before Thanksgiving. If you are coming in-person to conferences on Monday 11/25, what a perfect opportunity to drop off items then!
Holiday Shop is fun for our kids and a fundraiser for our PTA – all profits go straight back into enrichments, events and activities for our wonderful CCES students!

We are asking that families please submit questions ahead of time via this google form. We will wrap up our conversation with Ms. Mallo by 7:40 and then continue with our PTA meeting agenda.
Read-A-Thon – Oct. 21 – Dec. 1
Get ready to fall in love with READING! Our annual Read-A-Thon kicks off next week on Oct. 21. This annual initiative helps our students find joy in reading while also raising money for our school. Our primary goal is to get kids reading – on their own, with their family, with a sibling or even with a pet! All types of reading count- read to your student, have them read to you, or read together as a family. This step-by-step guide includes details on how to register your student, track minutes, and collect donations. Be sure to track your student’s minutes read. The classes with the most minutes read will win a popcorn party!
