From the Principal's Desk
We wanted to let you know that this week is Severe Weather Awareness week. We will plan to hold a tornado drill this Friday related to the event.
As a reminder, "see something, say something" remains the most important step we can take as a community to keep our school safe. Please reach out should you have a concern. As always, school safety is our highest priority.

Around the School
In the Library
Book Drive!
We are having our 2nd annual book drive for CGE! Books will be used primarily in the library. Some will be:
Placed our collection.
Taken by other students to add to their personal libraries.
Used in various parts of the building to help build a reading culture.
The Book Drive Collection box will be in the lobby and students are welcome to bring books straight to the library.
Thanks so much for supporting reading at CGE!
SORA -- Online Books
Students have access to our CCS online library called Sora. Sora is a student-friendly reading app for e-books and audiobooks. Students have anytime-anywhere access to digital books through their Chromebooks or their mobile devices/tablets. In their account, students can take notes and highlight books, track their reading statistics, and more! Students can read on any device, but they will need their user names and logins to do this.
