Last September, this Cedar Park community came together to fiscally support the students and staff of CPMS. Our 2017 5K fundraiser (including the accompanying matching funds) raised just over $50,000, a record in recent memory.
The PTC budget provided an amazing number of explicit items for our students through the course of this school year, including:
- New Student Picnic
- Art Literacy lesson for each grade
- Staff Appreciation Week catered lunch for staff
- Student planners for the 6th grade
- PACK store supplies
- 7th grade field trip to PSU
- Support for OSU Field Trip for 8th graders
- All-school winter social
- 8th Grade Send-off
