Homecoming Fun!

Our PTSA joined in the Homecoming festivities, selling glow-in-the-dark goodies at the dance! It was a fun and successful evening, and we loved being part of the celebration.

A special thank you to ASB for welcoming the PTSA to be part of the festivities and for making an awesome banner for our table! We appreciate their support and all the work they put into making Homecoming a memorable event.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and supported the PTSA!

Halloween Fun with Future Eagles!

We also had a great time participating in the CPP LEAD Halloween event at Eagle Rock High School! Our PTSA hosted a table, and it was wonderful seeing so many future Eagles from our local elementary schools enjoying the festivities.

We loved connecting with families and sharing in the Halloween fun!

Thank You, Eagle Rock Families!
