Thank you for donating to the Greg Gannon Canned Food Drive! CCPC made a sizeable contribution to fill this whole truck with food to support over 50 food banks throughout the Washington, DC area.



A special thank you to Amy Ossi and Stephanie Rinkus for connecting us with this drive, and to Melissa Watkins (Duck parent) for bringing this idea to the Community Partnership PAC members, Lisa Nelms, Laura Bierbower Zech, Jenny Nicoll & Meredith Griffin!

CCPC Staff Christmas Fun

A very special Thank You to all of Santa's helpers!

Our teachers and staff truly appreciate the thoughtful gifts, kind gestures, and warm wishes we’ve received.

Your thoughtfulness and generosity have brightened the holidays and reminded us how lucky we are to have such incredible people in our community. Thank you for making this season even more special with your kindness.

Winter Break Reminder

Beginning January 5, please consider bringing your old tree for a new opportunity as part of a sensory forest on our playground. Trees may be left next to the playground fence near the main gate at your convenience.

The children really love this opportunity to create and explore. Thanks to our families for this extra effort.
