CPK Wellesley Restaurant Night 10/7
Dine in or get takeout from California Pizza Kitchen Linden Square, Wellesley anytime (lunch or dinner) this Thursday 7 October to support the PTO. Simply show this flyer on paper or your phone when dining in, or use code BACK20% when ordering online. Tell your friends, wider family and neighbors, and make sure they show the flyer or use the code!
Photo Day 10/15
Don't forget to order your child's photo! The easiest way is to do it online at mylifetouch.com with the Lilja ID: EVTT6SSSC
Morning Mischief 10/31
Register now if you are planning to attend, if you haven't already! We would also love to have more families sign up to bring a decorated car to display for the Trunk or Treat. If you sign up, you can either provide your own treats (food or non food) to give away, or the PTO can help if required. We will give you an idea of the estimated attendee numbers closer to the date once all the registrations are in.
Entry will be free but donations to the PTO will be welcomed to help us cover the costs of putting on the event. You can donate via Konstella here or on the day. Many thanks to Wegmans who have made a $250 donation for the event.
Outdoor Lunch
This week Principal Wasik will be sending out more information and the registration link to sign up for outdoor lunch if you wish to opt in. Thank you to all the parent volunteers who are helping with this effort to provide a more Covid-safe eating option for the school.
Curriculum Night Feedback
The school would love to get more feedback about curriculum night, so please fill out the survey if you haven't already.
