November Volunteer of the Month

Congratulations to Vickie Anderson for being selected Volunteer of the Month for November! In addition to organizing our Hospitality events (specifically the Teacher Luncheon in November), Vickie handled the entire Art to Remember Fundraiser! This not only provided potential gifts for families, but it netted nearly $1000.00 toward our budget for such things as our Holiday Festival and Cultural Arts events planned for 2009! As if this and her classroom service are not enough, Vickie also takes pictures at most events and creates posters to display her pictures at the school! Thank you to Vickie, and all of our volunteers, we couldn't do it without you!

Holiday Festival At CES

On Saturday, December 6th CES PTA will host a Holiday Festival. This event is a fun day for CES families. You are welcome to participate in either the Holiday Fun Shop, Lunch with Santa, or both, all while enjoying a performance by our students beginning at 10 a.m. The lunch will require reservations, but the Holiday Fun Shop is open to all from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. You are free to shop any time. Shop early for best selections! If you have any questions about the Holiday Festival, call Sharon Hoetzlein-Sirman @ 410-535-5904.

Holiday Fun Shop - Kids Go Shopping
The CES Hallways will be transformed into a mini-store, one side for kids and the other for adults. The children's store, Kids Go Shopping, will have items ranging from $.50 to $15.00 for sale. An envelope will be sent home Wednesday, December
3rd, which will have a space for you and your child(ren) to fill out who they are shopping for and what the suggested prince range for the person's gift will be. They are encouraged to bring the envelope on December 6th, and our elves will assist them in their buying.
We will also have vendors on hand for the parents to do their shopping. We are excited to have Tastefully Simple, Silpada Jewelry, Southern Living, Mary Kay, and many more. If you know a vendor who might be interested, please encourage them to contact us quickly, as space is limited!

Lunch With Santa
The other part of our Holiday Festival will be Lunch with Santa. In the Eagle Eatery between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. you will be able to join friends and family, as well as Santa, for pizza, soda, and baked goodies! You will also have an opportunity to have a photo with Santa ($1.00/photo)! Reservations will be required for the lunch. A flyer will be sent home with a form to secure your reservation!
Pizza $1.50/slice
Drinks $.50 (juice, soda, bottled water)
