We are incredibly thankful for our CES counselor team for coordinating with City Hall to provide nearly 70 boxes of food for our CES students to take home during this holiday break. They are also organizing a “Shop with a Cop” event at Walmart this Saturday for approximately 60 students. Our CES students and families are truly blessed to have such strong support from our community and the dedicated connections of our counseling team, all working together to help make the holidays brighter for our students and families.
