Dear CCES Families,

Welcome back to another exciting school year at Crabapple Crossing Elementary School! We hope you all had a wonderful summer filled with relaxation, fun, and cherished family time. As your CCES PTO Co-Presidents, we, Rachel and Jeannie, are absolutely thrilled to welcome each and every one of you back to our vibrant school community!

For those new to CCES, and as a reminder to our returning families, the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) plays a vital role in enriching the educational experience for all our students. We are a group of dedicated parents, teachers, and staff who work collaboratively to support our school through various initiatives, events, and fundraising efforts. From organizing beloved school traditions to providing resources for classrooms and teachers, the PTO is here to foster a strong connection between home and school.

We are incredibly excited about the year ahead and all the wonderful opportunities it holds. Our goal is to create an engaging and supportive environment where every child can thrive, and we believe that strong parent involvement is key to achieving this. We invite you to join us in making a difference, whether it's by volunteering your time, sharing your ideas, or simply participating in our events. Every contribution, big or small, makes a significant impact.

Keep an eye on your inbox for upcoming communications regarding important dates, volunteer opportunities, and exciting events we have planned. We encourage you to get involved and become an active part of our CCES family.

We can't wait to see all your bright faces around campus and look forward to a fantastic year filled with learning, growth, and fun!

Warmly,

Rachel Bartlone and Jeannie Hopf
