Today, we have another "Five Hundred Dollar Friday" Match challenge for our annual giving campaign. If you haven't donated yet and would like your donation to go even further today is the day! If we can reach $500 in donations we have a anonymous donor that is willing to match the $500 to make todays's total $1000! Our first "Five Hundred Dollar Friday" was a big success. Let's make today a success too!

Did you know that CW has a parent resource library? This is a set of resources designed for parents to use and enjoy. We are regularly adding titles, so feel free to browse and check out a book or video that looks interesting.

Community Coffee this Friday, December 2, 8:00-9:00 a.m. Join fellow parents for a cup of coffee and a hello! For a change of pace, we will be having bagels with our coffee instead of doughnuts. See you there!

Mark your calendars, Kindergarten Night at CW is this Thursday, from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m.!

Thank you for sharing your children and your lives with all of us at CW. Today, we enjoyed a beautiful harvest feast of stone soup and biscuits that the children prepared together. “For the golden corn and the apples on the tree, For the golden butter and honey for our tea; For fruits and nuts and berries, that grow beside the way For birds and bees and flowers, we give thanks every day”

Our Food Drive was a success! We donated 309 lbs. of food to the IOCP Food Shelf. Thank you for participating in this important community cause.
