Dear Parents and Guardians,
We were hoping that we didn’t have to make this call, but due to the forecast of inclement weather for tomorrow morning, we have decided to cancel the CCES “Fun and Field Day” event. We want to thank all of our volunteers for their willingness to help out with this event. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Sincerely,
Tony Alberts
CCES Principal
