Help us celebrate Ms. Graciela and Ms. Maria, who keep our school shining every day. We’re putting together gift baskets with some of their favorites (see graphic for ideas like Chick-fil-A, Coca-Cola/Gatorade, chocolate, cookies, Doritos/Cheez-Its, Werther’s Originals, Dunkin’, gummy bears, and Amazon/TJ Maxx gift cards).
If you’d like to contribute, please send items to the main office by September 30.

After much thought and reflection, we’ve reimagined our Staff Shoutout board into something even bigger — a CSPES Family Shoutout Board! 🎉
Now you can give a shoutout to anyone in our CSPES community:
💡 Staff
💡 Students

I’ve always said, “When one member of our community rises, we all rise.” 💪🐯 Let’s celebrate one another, lift each other up, and spread positivity across our CSPES family.

6TH GRADE ONLY!
You’re invited to join our Math Facts Lunch Bunch!
We’ve noticed that many students are still working on building automaticity—that quick recall of math facts without having to stop and think.
During Lunch Bunch, we’ll practice math facts in fun and engaging ways, with a focus on speed and accuracy. This extra practice will help you feel more confident and ready for success in math class and beyond.
Bring your lunch (or grab at school), bring your energy, and get ready to sharpen those math fact skills!

This year, we’re excited to launch CSPES Gives Back, a new campaign where each Family Dinner Night will feature a donation drive for a cause in our wider community.
For our first Family Dinner Night, we’ll be collecting items to support the Anne Arundel County Humane Society.
For the past three years, we’ve built a strong and beautiful CSPES community—now it’s time to extend that impact beyond our walls. Together, we can show that our Tiger pride is unstoppable, both inside and outside of school.
Suggested donations may include pet food, treats, blankets, toys, or cleaning supplies. Every contribution makes a difference!
You can also purchase and have it delivered from our wishlist https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/LLCR93SGBNBM?ref_=wl_share
