2024 - Another Fantastic Year at CEPS

As we reach the end of another great CEPS year, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to every one of you for making it such a fantastic year of learning and community connection.

To our dedicated staff, thank you for your ongoing commitment to our students' education and well-being. Your passion, creativity, and hard work have created an inspiring and supportive environment where our students can thrive.

To our wonderful families, your support and involvement have been invaluable. Whether through volunteering, attending events, or simply being there for your child/ren, you have helped continue to build our strong and vibrant school community. We are grateful for your partnership and trust.

And to our amazing students, thank you for your enthusiasm, curiosity, and resilience. You have shown incredible growth and have made us all proud with your achievements. Your energy and spirit are the heart of our school, and we are excited to see what the future holds for each of you.

Together, we have created a year filled with memorable moments, meaningful connections, and significant accomplishments. Thank you once again for a fantastic year. Wishing you all a restful and enjoyable break, and we look forward to seeing you in the new year.
