Read-a-Thon Success
We are thrilled to share that our Read-a-Thon 2nd Edition was a wonderful success! Our students showed incredible enthusiasm for reading, and it was inspiring to see so many of them fully engaged, building their literacy skills while having fun. Believe it or not, we have surpassed last year’s total! Together, you have raised over $28,000!! Stay tuned for the final amount!
A heartfelt thank you to our families, staff, and community for your incredible support. Your encouragement and generosity helped make this event not only successful, but meaningful in fostering a love of reading in our students. A special thank you to all the parents who helped organize, plan, count money, and truly believe in this unique opportunity for our students. Your time, effort, and dedication made this event possible. We are so proud of our students and grateful to be part of such a supportive and engaged community.
Here are some of the highlights shared at our assembly on El Día del Libro to celebrate our community of readers, and the winners of the main prizes.

Parent Society
Fun Lunch is coming up next week! We had to make a change for this month, so please double-check your order details. All previous orders have been refunded through Healthy Hunger. We’re also looking for volunteers to help hand out Fun Lunch on April 29, May 27, and June 24 from 11:10 AM–12:50 PM. If you’re available and have CBE Volunteer Police Clearance, we’d love to have you!
Please help us spread kindness and appreciation to our amazing teachers! We are looking for a volunteer each week to provide snacks or treats to the staff room, on any day that works for you. Contributions can be anything you like—fruit and vegetables, healthy options, sweet treats, baked goods, and more. Our teachers really enjoyed having a little treat during their week, and it’s been a wonderful way to show our appreciation.
