Today our CEA Students had a Kickoff Event for PARP! During this month the theme will be “Reading is Sweet” and each grade will be represented by a candy/color. UPK 4 - Orange Lollipop, Kindergarten - Green Gumdrop, First Grade - Red Licorice, Second Grade - Yellow Hard Candy, Third Grade- Blue Gummy Bear. The goal for each student is to read at least 15 minutes for 5 days each week during the program. This should not include reading required for school. Reading logs should be submitted on each Sunday evening. The top three classes in each grade will be recognized weekly and at the end of PARP the winning classes in each grade will receive a special reward. The top three students in each grade will also receive recognition of their outstanding accomplishment! For more information visit our website! https://www.wpcsd.org/o/cea/page/parp

CEA held a Parent Engagement Day to show COMPASSION (our Character Education word for December). Each grade level made a special craft to send to someone or someplace (Veteran's home, assisted living home, senior center etc.) Second Graders at CEA made many cards for children who cannot go home for the holidays! These cards will be sent to a children's hospital to cheer them up!

Check out some of these photos from our Cookies and Compassion Event! Thank you to everyone that helped to make this possible!
