I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are
making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things,
learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your
world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. Neil Gaiman

our PTO gift card winner
for December:
Kelly Bratton
Thanks for your
continued support &
volunteers are always
appreciated! If you
have any PTO questions, you may contact
your PTO President
Seanda Ramsey at

At the beginning of December PTO
took over the Library here at CES.
Chair person for the Santa Shop,
Jennifer Milligan was a great asset
and made the shopping experience
fun and educational for our students. The children enjoyed shopping for their loved ones with our
many volunteers. We will be sure to
carry on this tradition next year.
As we ring in the new year we encourage families to be involved with
the PTO. We have many more
events planned and without your
support they may not be possible.
Please plan to attend a meeting or
two and tell us what you want to
see here at CES for
the remainder for the 2015-2016
school year. Meetings are held the
second Monday of each month
