What a way to kick off the school year!

Last month, we held our first PTO meeting of the year and partnered with iCode so our children could enjoy themselves while families connected and learned more about what’s ahead. With nearly 90 participants joining us in person and online, the meeting was a great success. Thank you for helping us start the year so strong!

September was a busy month! We enjoyed Spirit Nights at Chipotle and Cold Stone, an in-school “Magic in You” assembly, a day at the Maryland Corn Maze, our SafeSplash Pool Party, and ¡Celebra! Family Dinner Night. Whew!

Now, we’re ready to welcome the crisp fall weather and an exciting October. Join us

for the Color Fun Run on October 2, the Book Fair (Oct 19 - 24), and our signature fall event—the Fall Festival on October 24.

Thank you for continuing to show up, participate, and support our CSPES community. We have an exciting year ahead!
