If you want to purchase one and didn't order one last year, send $22 tomorrow in your child's folder- cash with correct change or a check made out to CES with yearbook in the memo...first come until we run out. Thank you!

Parents and Guardians,
Today we practiced a Lock Down Drill at school. This drill is required and involves locking doors, turning out lights, practicing being silent, and getting out of sight of the windows in classrooms. Our students did very well and the drill was over quickly, but I wanted to give you a heads up in case your child comes home with further questions.
Thank you, Ms. Barker
