WINTER MUSIC PROGRAM NEWS
In an effort to be more accommodating to families, the winter music program performances will be held on two different dates this year.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12TH MONDAY, DECEMBER 16TH
Kindergarten 1:00pm & 5:30pm 2nd Grade 1:30pm & 5:30pm
1st Grade 1:30pm & 6:30pm 3rd Grade 2:00pm & 6:30pm
4th Grade 2:00pm & 7:30pm
While we understand that this is not a perfect solution, we are hoping this helps alleviate congestion with both seating and parking. Each grade level will perform 3-5 songs and then there will be time between grade levels for families to leave or move seats before the next performance. We encourage anyone that can attend the afternoon performance to do so. Thank you so much for helping to make this a smooth and pleasurable experience for all students and families!

FROM MRS. MUNSON
An important concept that CES students are taught is: “All of our feelings are ok, actions are ok or not ok”. Our children should know that it is normal to feel strong emotions at times. The important thing is that we are dealing with these emotions appropriately. It is ok to feel angry, but it is not ok to hurt someone. Here are some tips for helping kids handle strong emotions: https://aliciaclarkpsyd.com/12-tips-parenting-child-intense-emotions/
Here are some books to read together:
