Holiday Celebrations

At CES, were are intentionally reviewing our holiday celebration practices, parties, food from home, bake sales, etc.  We recognize that some families enjoy sending treats along with the valentines cards for their child's classmates and their intention is from a place of caring and kindness.  However, at times, we have noticed an adverse effect on some of our students, as well as continually navigating the changing recommendations from AHS.  Therefore, moving forward, we ask that you do not include items such as candies, cookies, or other gift items with your child's valentines.  

We look forward to the messages that the children will send each other with their valentines.
