SCOREBOARD INSTALLATION
Over the winter break, the installation of our scoreboard was completed. We are so excited for this step in completing our beautiful gymnasium! Thank you to Jonathan Keyser and his family for their 3 year commitment to sponsor the new scoreboard in the gym. Because of their generous support as a Founding Family of Cicero, we can officially keep score during our 2016 boys and girls basketball season. Thank you!

DO YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE A MICROWAVE OR REFRIGERATOR WE CAN USE?

The PSO is currently seeking two refrigerators and two microwaves to be donated and used for the Prep and Archway lunch programs. These can be new or used. The fridges do not need to have a freezer, and ideally, smaller in size. We are making some small changes with the lunch program and appreciate the support. Please contact Julie Caldwell at [email protected] if you can help or need further clarification. Thanks.

CLIP, CLIP, HOORAH!
IT'S BOX TOP TIME AGAIN & WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We had a successful fall campaign and raised more than $1,000 for Cicero. We would like to keep the momentum and do it again. Clip away and earn the opportunity to WIN your class a PIZZA PARTY!

Here Is How It Works:
  • Contest Deadline: February 19th
  • Incentive: The class for Archway and Prep who turns in the most box tops will earn a PIZZA PARTY
  • The runner up classes for Archway and Prep will earn a POPSICLE PARTY
  • Dates for the parties will be announced at a later date and are yet to be determined.
We ask that students bring their Box Tops to their homerooms (not the front office) and put them in the boxes in each classroom no later than Feb. 19th to ensure proper credit is given.
 
Even though this classroom incentive has a deadline, Cicero collects Box Tops all year round, so please clip and save throughout the year as this is a great way for us to raise money for our school.
