Scholastic Book Fair – December 1 - 13
Our Scholastic Book Fair arrives this week! Students will begin to preview the Scholastic books and merchandise as we head into parent/teacher conferences. There will be a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reader, as well as some great gift-giving ideas! This is also an important fundraising event to bring new resources into our School! Please stop by the Book Fair during Parent/Teacher conferences.
Thank you for your support - we look forward to seeing you at our Book Fair!
Annual Winter Activity Day
We’ve had an amazing success getting students signed up, thanks for being so organized CNG! There are still spots available, so please sign up as soon as possible. Students should have received a form to be signed once they chose their trip, please encourage them to bring those back to PE.
We need your help! These trips take lots of supervision, so please have your child come pick up a volunteer form if you’d like to come along. Not sure if you’re a cleared volunteer at CNG? Call the main office and they can help you!
