Greeting CES Families!
Mother’s Day is celebrated in many different ways across families, but the heart of the day remains the same — it’s a time to honor those we call “mom” for their love, resilience, and unwavering support through life’s ups and downs. On behalf of the CES family, I extend my warmest wishes for a Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers and mother figures in our school community.
Last week, we proudly celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week and National Nurses Week. These outstanding professionals play vital roles in supporting our scholars—ensuring their academic success, safety, and well-being each day. We are truly grateful for their dedication and hope they felt valued and appreciated for the impact they make in the lives of our students.
As we approach the final weeks of the 2024–2025 school year, we are preparing for end-of-year processes, including ensuring that students return home with all of their personal belongings. We are also looking ahead to the future and would sincerely appreciate your input.
