Chef Lex Gets a BIG Upgrade, Thanks to YOU!!

BEFORE ....

Can you even believe that Chef Lex has been cooking a scratch-made lunch for 50+ kids a day (and catered the Spring Benefit!) on a tiny little hot plate?!


AFTER!!!!!!!!


Well, not anymore!!! At this year's Spring Benefit, CWS families came through for Chef Lex (and our school!) in a huge way, raising $5,000 to help purchase a REAL stove and give our school kitchen some much-needed love. Just look at this beautiful, high end commercial stove, griddle, and oven that you helped purchase (for a bargain!) for Chef Lex — and for all of our students and faculty at CWS!


Thank you so much, CWS Families!! 💜

Your support makes a HUGE difference for our school!


Faculty Appreciation Continues Next Week!

Faculty Appreciation Month continues next week with a Beverage Bar! Thank you again for showing your love for CWS faculty this month ❤️


The Parent Association is also collecting notes of appreciation to hang up in the front hallway. Fill one out here, or stop by the front of the school to grab a paper copy to fill out!


Check Out New Spring Spirit Wear Styles!
