Last week, CCES held our very first Attendance Surprise Day for the 25-26 school year, and it was a big hit! 🌽🍎 Thanks to a wonderful collaboration with Lakeview Market, students got to explore a mini farmers market right here at school. Each student had the chance to choose from a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables to take home and enjoy with their families.
These surprise events are planned throughout the year by Miss Abbie, Communities In Schools, to celebrate and encourage good, regular school attendance. Students never know when the next surprise will be — but everyone present that day gets to join in the fun!
We can’t wait to see what the next Attendance Surprise Day brings!
