It's Not too Late!
You won't want to miss out on Celebrating the Spirit at the Oscars. It promises to be an outstanding night from the moment you walk onto the Red Carpet for the Pre-Party! Click on the CTS Ticket Page and RSVP now! You can also donate toward the teachers' tickets, and purchase raffle tickets.
CTS Student Art Preview
You are invited to a sneak preview of the class art projects before their formal release at Celebrate the Spirit! Get a behind-the-scenes preview and dream about where these handmade masterpieces will look in your own home. Each project is a collaborative work made by each grade. Your child may have added his or her fingerprint or painted a particular piece of the project. They are truly masterpieces made with their hands and from their hearts! You can't put a price on that!
The sneak preview is available Wednesday, February 5 & Thursday, February 6 in the A&B rooms from 7:45am - 3:30pm. Stop in for a cup of coffee after drop-off and peruse these one-of-a-kind originals!
