TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK: MAY 3 - 7
Dear CEC Families,

During this challenging year, one aspect has remained constant—our dedicated CEC teachers and staff. They have been working harder than ever to give our kids the best education possible under incredibly trying circumstances.

We would like to show them our appreciation during Teacher and Staff Appreciation week starting May 3rd. A link to a sign-up to bring small treats for the teacher and staff lounge during that week is below - thank you for helping!

Please bring items to CEC no later than Thursday, April 29th.
Thank you very much CEC community!
