WILL THERE BE A COMMUNITY FAIR THIS FALL? There doesn't seem to be enough interest from parents to coordinate this long standing CES tradition. Maybe it's time to change our event ideas....how can we replace the money we make at the fair and be sure to make enough for the programs that the PTO funds each year? Without the fair, will our kids have to sell candles and magazines? Are there other, less labor intensive activities we can do instead of the fair? We need your input and fresh ideas! Please come to a Future PTO Events Discussion Meeting on Wednesday, May 29th from 6:30 to 8:00 in the CES cafeteria. Free child care will be provided. Contact Susan Penn atpennsb@nycap.rr.com for more information.
