Mayfaire Tomorrow!

Community Update

May 3, 2019

D ear friends,

Congratulations to our Eighth Grade for hosting another successful May Day Games. What a fun-filled day it was watching all the students put their love and energy into such a good-natured competition.

More May Day photos are below. Many thanks to Seventh Grade parent Lindy Smither, who took a number of pictures that will be making their way up to our schoolwide Shutterfly site in the next few days. You can look for them here:

While this time of the year gets busy for everyone, we do hope your weekend plans include attending our school's annual Mayfaire Festival. In addition to the traditional May Pole Dance performed by the Eighth Grade, the Sixth Grade will perform their play, "Robin Hood," which is sure to be filled with humor and rollicking Sherwood Forest action!

Other highlights include:

Early Childhood puppet shows
Cupcake Walk and other kids' activities
Suncake silent auction (bakers still needed! See flyer below to help.)
Food and school merchandise sales
Classroom tour and curriculum display

Please remember that parking at our campus is limited. The CSWS Shuttle will be available to ferry folks back and forth from the El Dorado Savings Bank at the southwest intersection of I-50 and El Dorado Road.

Happy Friday and I'll look for you tomorrow 'round the May Pole!

In spirited community,

Nicole Deutsch

Director of Community Development
