Recorders have arrived!
Our recorders have arrived. Students have started playing them, and have the option to take them home in the coming weeks. If you indicated on the letter sent home that you are purchasing a recorder through the school, please check for the fee in your MyCBE account.
Thank you to our wonderful parents and families who brought breakfast for the staff this past Wednesday. We so appreciate these treats!
