Vote For Your Favorite Playground Enhancement
Last evening at Back to School Night, the Playground Committee presented two terrific options for our playground enhancement - option #1, the Conquest and option #2 the Carnival. If you were unable to attend last night's meeting, or if you didn't get a chance to vote, you can download a ballot here or get one from the front office. If you'd like to get another look at the two options, a display is located in the front hall across from the cafeteria or you can view pictures on the CTES PTA website. Please remember only one vote per family and voting closes next Friday! We'll announce the winner next week so stay tuned. Return to index |
