Welcome Back, CCE!
I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break, and your students are ready for school tomorrow! Today is César Chávez Day, and at CCE this week we will be honoring his legacy with many activities and projects. Teachers will showcase their classroom projects and student work at our Open House on Wednesday, April 10. I hope to see you this first Friday of the month for Coffee with the Principal!
CCE Green School Yard – Spring Tree Planting!
Many exciting projects are happening this Spring at CCE and our Environmental Education Program (EEP-SIPAT) in partnership with DJUSD staff worked together during Spring Break to plant over a dozen California native trees for our CCE Green School Yard. We are seeking 6th graders to fulfill the 6th grade Community Service Project tomorrow by mulching the newly planted trees. In addition, we hope all our 1st-6th grade parents can volunteer in April and May for Lobos Activos since these are the last two sessions for each grade for the school year. Please find the Lobos Activos Parent Volunteer Sign Up Genius here:

Warm regards,
