Welcome to the Callier Parents’ Association (CPA)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By enrolling your child in the Callier Child Development Program, you are automatically a member. CPA is a social organization that strives to promote a feeling of community among our children and parents and acts as a conduit between our teachers and parents. We have several events throughout the year and would love you and your child\u2019s participation in social and fundraising events. We hope you will volunteer and be an active member of your child\u2019s school. Every minute helps! We will email links to volunteer in our Callier e-news summary and reminder emails the week before each event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPA Social Events<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CPA social events are run by the CPA and do not include the teacher-run events like Family Feast or the Halloween Parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome and Goodbye Celebration: <\/strong>08\/18\/2023<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a time to welcome all of the new families and to say a final goodbye to all of the families moving on. Pizza is provided for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPA Picnic: 10\/28\/2023<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, October 28, we gather for a wonderful play date in the sun and shade of Scottish Rite Park. Families bring their own picnic lunch, and the CPA sponsors lunch for teachers and administrators who attend. It is a great way to see your little ones playing with their friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter Wonderland: 12\/12\/2023<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of our most popular events, Winter Wonderland is a school-wide celebration of all things winter. We have craft and activity tables representing winter holidays across many cultures: Winter Solstice, Chanukah, Christmas, Divali, Las Posadas, Dongzhi, Kwanzaa, and other \u201csnowy\u201d activities. We even offer free pictures with Santa! It really is so much fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Food Festival: 01\/26\/2024<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another of our most popular events, the International Food Festival is a combination of three of our favorite things: the multi-cultural aspect of our families, whose parents often come from around the world; the delicious food they make; and music! It is a potluck dinner. Bring your favorite kid-friendly dish and be amazed as your child tries something you never thought he or she would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staff Appreciation Day: 05\/10\/2024<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To show our staff our love and thanks, we organize a luncheon for them and give them gift cards to a popular store. Also, during the week, we give them extra hugs, flowers from our gardens or whatever you and your child want to do to show your love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Callier Parents\u2019 Association Fundraising Events<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The money raised from fundraising events goes directly to keeping our school in the excellence category. Playground equipment, new cubbies and lockers, teacher development to keep their strategies current, and special events all come from fundraising. Your help is appreciated, whether it is time, money or items!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book Fair: 09\/22\/2023<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Scholastic Book Fair is a great way to stock up on your child\u2019s favorite books, enhance the supply of books in the classroom and raise funds for CPA. Please join us! We need help setting up, running the till and cleaning up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silent Auction: <\/strong>04\/19\/2023<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The silent auction is our major fundraiser for the school. Parents request donations from area and national businesses and ask the teachers to assemble class art projects, as well as donate their precious time in fun one-on-one activities with our kids. Parents may preview items and bid online. Then, parents come to the silent auction to win fabulous things that support their child\u2019s education. Last year, we had an amazing response with our highest attendance yet, and it was a blast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 \u2013 2024 Callier Parent Association Contacts<\/u><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CPA is governed by an elected committee that works together with classroom representatives. There are many opportunities to participate through numerous projects and special events each year. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
