A Message from the Head of School:
Dear CES Families,
This week is Spirit Week and we are all having so much fun. As the students would say, "Today was AWESOME!" Everyone was dressed in red and white and we held our Pep Rally out on the greentop. We were shaking pom poms, cheering with megaphones, and applauding for our girls' and boys' soccer teams. It is always exciting to see the players run off the buses and into the crowd. After the teams have been introduced, they jump back on the buses and take off for their afternoon games. Today we play Barnesville and are hoping for a rewarding final game of the season.
Thanks to all who helped with the Pep Rally today and to all those who support their children on the school soccer team.
Go Cardinals!!
With love and gratitude,
Caroline Chapin, Ed.D.
Head of School

Come join us on Monday, October 31st at 9:00 AM
for our
annual
Halloween Parade on the Green Top!
The parade will begin with our PreK children leading the way at 9:00 AM, followed by our Lower School (K-4) classes. Middle School students will stand alongside the fence cheering for their Chapel Partners and younger friends as they march around the Green Top proudly displaying their costumes!
Parents and friends should stand alongside the fences (outside the Green Top) or on the
grass in Foley Park to watch the parade. Please keep the Green Top and sidewalk clear so the children have plenty of space to parade.
At the end of the parade, we will group the PK and Lower School children by classes so parents and teachers can take plenty of photos.
After the parade
:
- PreK children will return to the Preschool Building to enjoy Halloween activities in their classroom.
- Lower School children will walk across the street to trick-or-treat at the Rockville City Police Station and then continue on to City Hall. This annual tradition is not only a CES favorite, it's a big favorite of our City Hall and Police neighbors who love to see our children in their costumes!
- Upon their return from trick-or-treating, the Lower School children will enjoy Halloween activities in their classrooms.
- Middle School students will return to the Jefferson Building and later have a special MS Halloween Party in the Murdock Room beginning 10:30 AM (for students only).

Calling all Bookeneers! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming soon: Where Books are the Treasure!
Arghhh, matey!
The CES Parents Association, with the help of the Preschool, announce this year's Bookaneer Book Fair! The Murdock Room will be transformed into a CES Pirate Island.
Students are motivated to read by having access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own books. Help us encourage reading! The selection at the Fair is not limited to children's books. Teens and adults will find wonderful choices, too. Teachers will have the opportunity to preview the collection on November 3rd and fill their classroom wish-list baskets while enjoying refreshments. Your children will be coming home with their own wish lists so think holiday gift giving! Our own CES library benefits directly with a percentage of sales going to fund CES's collection of books and supplies.
Pirate Island (the Murdock Room) will be open for business beginning Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2016 at 4:30 pm through 11:00 am on Saturday, Nov. 12, 2016.
We cannot make this event a success without the help of volunteers. Please consider donating some time to help with book sales. Volunteering is easy and fun!
