Holiday Shop A Success!
Yesterday was our Holiday Shop! Thank you to our teachers for allowing us to borrow their students and to all of the adults who volunteered! Students were so excited to shop for their families.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Erin Bosco for taking on the event after the fabulous Berry and Gigi. So many hours went into shopping, hunting out deals and locating a variety of items for our young shoppers to buy for loved ones. And then there was the storing, price stickering, and coordinating of volunteers and food for the teachers. So many steps it took to produce one hour of shopping for your kid, but worth it!

However, this event would never have happened if people didn't step up and help out! Thank you so much to our volunteers There was much to store, setup, sell (and replenish tables), help kids with their shopping lists and gift wrapping! It took a village to pull off this day!

Thank you, too, for those who donated food for our teachers, gift bags and wrapping paper, and those who brought in hats and mittens. There were so many ways to help out today and we appreciated anything that people could do! Together, we made today awesome!
Help CAPT with Your Holiday Shopping!
Ordering gift cards? Order ahead of time through Scrips! We get up to 20% back on a huge variety of gift cards.

Ordering special photo gifts or holiday/new year cards? Check out Shutterfly through our link for 8% back to CAPT.

Lastly, don't forget you can tie your Amazon Account to Hansen CAPT. Just make your purchases through Amazon Smile and many vendors will send 0.5% back to CAPT.

Thanks for thinking of us!
Become More Involved in CAPT!
At the end of this year, our whole Board will be concluding their 2 year terms. If you like what CAPT does and want to become more involved, here's your chance! No matter your skillset, we have a position for you!

Serving on the Board is a great way to get to know other parents and guardians. It's also a fantastic way to support the educational experience of all children in our school. As discussed at previous CAPT meetings, we would like to have folks who may be interested in these roles shadow this year to see if this is something that will interest them next year and it will be an easier transition once our current board leave at the end of this school year.

Each newsletter, we'll highlight one board position! If you would like to know more or want to shadow the current member, please reach out.
CAPT Board Opening: Vice President
