Message from the President

Hello Cougar Parents,

     Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! CWE PTA thanks all the cougar parents who donated towards our CPD fundraiser and helped us go beyond our budgeted amount. We were able to achieve more than $57,000 with a record-breaking above 80% parent participation. Each dollar raised goes directly back to our kids and school. There are a lot of events and activities planned for the coming year and this amount will help us conduct every one of them. 

     This month we will have our Muffins with Mom, WATCH DOGS, and Carnival. Submissions of Art Reflections are also due this month. Next month we will have Hands-On-Science, WATCH DOGS (which was much appreciated) and Art A La Carte exhibition. I would highly recommend all of you to come and see the amazing works of our kids.

     As always please feel free to contact any of us from the CWE PTA board if you need further clarification or have suggestions for our PTA. We would love to see our parents be a part of our various events. Do sign up to volunteer and help us do more for the kids and school.

     Happy Fall and Happy Halloween!

- Gayathri Nandakumar, PTA President
