Lunch Room News

If you have visited your child during the lunch times, you will notice a new "look" to the cafeteria. We have a new arrangement to the cafeteria tables that has been a great improvement to both safety and traffic during the lunch times. In addition, we have new guidelines for visiting and talking with our friends. Ask your child to explain them to you, as we worked with all students, grade level by grade level to practice appropriate behavior in our cafeteria. In a nutshell, we have introduced intermittent music to help signal when we can talk and visit. It has worked very well these past few days and we look forward to more pleasant dining experiences for all in the CCE cafeteria.


MUSIC IN THE CLASSROOM NEEDS YOU

This fall, we will be presenting a program on the life and work of Beethoven! (“Ode to Joy,” Nine and a half symphonies, drama, suspense, romance!) In the spring, we will do the same with The Beatles! (“Let It Be,” “Obl la dee,” “In an Octopus’s Garden,” “Yellow Submarine” and more!) The only criteria are that you must enjoy music


To volunteer to help present this program, email Marilyn Norrod at Marilyn@marilynrucker.com


What is a Day Worth?

Student absenteeism impacts the absent student, teacher, their classmates and the district. Did you know that every time a student is absent, in addition to the student having to make up work and catch up on learning, the teacher must also provide the previous days' lesson while concurrently continuing the educational process for students who were absent? Please help all children in the district by ensuring your student is present for school every day.


“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” Plato. Looking for a way to interact with your child, see the kids at play and make a difference at the school? Then lunch recess is the place for you! Lunch recess for the third, fourth and fifth graders is a special treat, but it cannot happen without your help. We need volunteers in order for the children to be able to play outside after lunch. We would love to have you as often or as little as your schedule allows -- once a week, once a month or once a semester, whatever your availability - we have a need that you can fill. Please visit the online schedule at http://www.signupgenius.com/go/lunch434http://www.signupgenius.com/go/lunch434. If you have any questions please contact Allison Block at mailto:allison@blocked.orgallison@blocked.org.


Recycle your HEB plastic grocery bags

AND earn money for CCE at the same time. When you have 20-50 bags, stack them facing the same direction, then roll them as tightly as possible from the bottom end up to the handle to create a small log. Use two separate bags, 1 at each end, to tie the log. Make sure to remove all cash register receipts, produce bags etc. from the bags. ONLY HEB plastic bags would be recycled through this program. The collection bin is located by the main entrance staircase across from the elevator. This program will run through the 2011-12 school year. Any questions contact Environmental Awareness committee chair, Kalpana Dangi at 2499040 or at kalpanadangi@yahoo.com
