Happy Mother's Day!

Dear Parents,

Happy Birthday to Sai (last Monday)!

​It has been said that, “Mothers hold their children’s hands for a while, but their hearts forever.” May your Mother’s Day be filled with love and appreciation for all that you do! Wishing you a lovely day!

The days are flying by as we head into summer.  Our last two testing days are Monday and Tuesday.  We will celebrate a year of hard work on Wednesday, May 23rd with an End of Year Showcase from 7:20 am-7:40 am This is your child’s opportunity to share his/her accomplishments as we near the end of third grade. Please make plans to stop by and see what your child has created and learned this year! So proud of our future fourth graders! It has been a GREAT year!

STAAR Testing Reminders: 
Students will be taking the Math & Reading STAAR tests on Monday, May 14th and Tuesday, May 15th. Please remember that your children will perform best if they have a good night’s sleep, eat a hearty breakfast, and arrive on time to school. Things to think about:
*Your children are well-prepared for this test.  If they sense anxiety from you they will have it too!
*Lunch visits are discouraged on testing days due to the unpredictable testing schedule.
*If you are unable to provide your child with a healthy breakfast, the CCE cafeteria will do it for you for FREE.
*We are providing snacks for both days. Your child may bring additional dry, healthy snacks.  Please avoid candy, cookies, or snacks that leave fingers greasy or cheesy.  

On Friday, May 18th, we will be taking our field trip to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Your child should wear his/her CCE t-shirt and bring a completely disposable lunch including a drink and snack. We are looking forward to spending the day admiring the beautiful landscape at Lady Bird. It is going to be a fun-filled day!

Thank you to the First Grade parents for providing a delicious brunch for the CCE staff. Friday Feast is definitely a favorite!

Happy Mother’s Day,
Mrs. McDonald
