PBIS Family Night and 5th Grade Chili Dinner Fundraiser

An Incredible PBIS Night! 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our PBIS Night and 5th Grade Fundraiser! What an amazing evening filled with fun, laughter, and fabulous food. The event was such a hit that we even reached full capacity — a great reminder to grab your tickets early next time!

We loved seeing our families, students, staff, and even former students come together to celebrate our school community. Your enthusiasm and support made the night truly special. This was an amazing opportunity for families to learn about PBIS at our school and what that looks like on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis

Enjoy these photos capturing all the fun, and thank you again to everyone who helped make this event such a wonderful success! 💛💙

Stratagies

Every move matters! Whether it’s a game of tic-tac-toe or a challenge on the playground, our students are learning to think critically, take turns, and celebrate each other’s success — one playful moment at a time.

A huge thank you to all of our amazing families who donated to our school fundraiser — your generosity makes a difference every single year! 💙

A special shout-out to our incredible PTA for always bringing their best energy, creativity, and school spirit. And of course, a big thank you to our fearless principal, who once again showed his Panther pride by diving right into the fun… literally covered in paint!

We’re so lucky to have a leader who’s not afraid to get a little messy for a great cause! 🐾💥

3rd and 5th Grade participants from CPES are the 2024/2025 Battle of the Book Champions

Panthers from 3rd and 5th Grade won this year's Thompson School District Battle of the Books Competition. 

Students have been reading several books from a set list since October. They know these books inside and out.  There have been several mini battles between participating school that lead up to the Grand Battle. It was a long Saturday of waiting but the results are awesome. 

The students have been working hard and learning a lot about teamwork.

We are proud of you Panthers!
