The PTO sponsors many different events and activities throughout the year that benefit our children. Our goal is to provide the students with exciting opportunities to learn and have fun, but we can't do it alone. It is imperative that each family dedicate a little time back to CFES to help make your child's experience in elementary school memorable.
We have over 20 committees that are always looking for new faces and ideas to join the groups. Please review the committee descriptions and let us know how you would like to get involved!
