    It is hard to believe that we are in the last month of 2022.  I am continuing to strive to be present during the busyness of the holiday season and I hope each of you is able to enjoy the moments of the season as well.  

    1. CYPRESS SPRINTERS TOMORROW MORNING.  This Friday is the last Friday until the Spring! 2nd-5th graders may show up to the track to walk/jog. Pk-1st grade families are asked to jog/walk with their students.  Fridays from 7:15-7:35, weather permitting, we will invite students to walk/jog the track.  Our last meeting is December 3rd for the fall and we will resume in March. 

    2. We hope to see you this evening at 6:00 pm for our CSES Talent Show!

    3. Friendly traffic reminder: please avoid driving into oncoming traffic to access the parking lot.  It is critical that cars remain in line until they may enter the lot. Thank you for keeping our tigers safe! 

    4. Next week is National Inclusive Schools Week and we will celebrate that we are each unique with different gifts and talents.  

    5. Friday, December 9th at 2 pm (weather permitting) we will take our Annual SchoolWide Aerial Photo.  Please wear yellow shirts as we are forming a large emoji happy face for our theme of “It’s a Great Day at CSE”.  ***First graders please wear black as you will be the eyes and smile.
