Hello CPMA Families, 

Congratulations to our Instrumental Music students and all our students who had a piece in our Creative Connections II: Exhibition of Learning. What a great week for us all to come together and celebrate our students individual brilliance. 

Please remind your students to not bring squirt guns or to turn their plastic water bottles into squirt bottles by poking holes in the lids. This has become more and more prevalent and we want to ensure that all students are treating others with respect and not engaging in play fights with water. This is disruptive to our learning environment and not appropriate for school.
