Last week was such a fun week with the solar eclipse and guest scoop night at Bruster’s Ice Cream!! Here’s what’s up next:
- Our school community needs YOU! We are seeking a PTA treasurer for the 2024-2025 school year. Our treasurer helps set the budget, writes reimbursement checks, balances the bank account, cashes checks, and keeps us in compliance with tax forms. A financial background is helpful but not required! If interested, please email president@cpes-pta.org.
- Last call for Spirit Wear Store! The store will close at 11:59pm on April 15 and will not reopen until the fall. Tye-Dye items will not be sold in the fall so order them now. Order Here
- Join us for our in-person April PTA meeting on Tuesday, April 16 from 6:30-8pm in the school library. Our new Advanced Academic Resource teacher, Jenna Mengia, will be giving an overview of the Advanced Academic Services at Cunningham Park. Join us for this informative meeting! Childcare and Spanish translation will be provided.
- Drop your kids off for a fun 3-hour game night at iCode on Saturday, April 20 from 6-9pm. Details are in the newsletter.
- Earth Day is April 22! CPES PTA is partnering with Glass Goat Recycling, which provides glass pick-up service to Fairfax County residents, as the country no longer takes glass with recyclables. Glass Goat Recycling will give our school a $20 donation for every new customer sign-up. See newsletter for more information and details on how to sign up!

Do you have a Kindergartner starting in the fall? Or are you moving to the area and have students starting at CPES in the fall? We can't wait to have you join our CPES Cardinal community! Don't forget to register your student with the school's front office if you haven't already. (school contact info here)
Here's what you can do now in order to be "PTA-ready" for the fall:
- Sign up for the weekly PTA Newsletter. Details and instructions are here.
- Follow the CPES PTA on Facebook, (click here) and also join the group for your grade (search for "CPES Class of 20XX" - rising Kindergarteners are class of 2037!)
- Participate in upcoming Dining For Dollars (list here)
Finally - create an account here on our PTA website. While you don't need it right now, you will eventually need to have an account in the fall for the directory (to both access the directory and add/update your info). Plus having an account makes credit card payments and pretty much everything else on this site a lot easier.
