A huge thank you to our CES families and the Canterbury community for supporting our PTO throughout the year. Because of your generosity and involvement, we were able to bring so many amazing opportunities, events, and resources to our students and school.

We are also incredibly grateful for our dedicated PTO volunteers. Your time, energy, and commitment make all of this possible!

Take a look at everything we accomplished together this year.
