Believe it or not - the end of the 2021-2022 school year is here. I hope you agree that this has been a school year to remember! It was a joy to come together again as a community, joining one another in lifting up our CFES students, teachers, and staff. Thank you, again, for everything each of you has done to make this year a success!

As I close my final year as PTO President, I also want to extend deep appreciation and thanks to the PTO Board. Your commitment to CFES and our children has been such an inspiration.

I leave my position with full confidence, passing the reigns to the amazing Amy Scott. Amy will be an outstanding 2022 - 2023 PTO President. Her energy and dedication will lead to great things for CFES!

I hope you all have a wonderful summer!

Sincerely,

Amanda Hartshorne

CFES PTO President
