Dear CFMS Families,
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
PTA is not a fundraising organization. The purpose and mission of PTA is to make every child’s potential a reality by
engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. While some fundraising is
necessary, the overall purpose of our PTA is to serve and provide opportunities for you to be involved in our school.
You will see many new activities and events happening at our school and we would like to invite you to participate
in any way that you can. This month, we would like to engage our male community by hosting a “Donuts with Dad”
event. Research shows that when fathers (or father figures) are involved a child’s education, there is an increase in
that student’s success. Dads, please come join us on November 15th in the media center! Don’t forget to RSVP:

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break!

Estimadas familias de CFMS,
El PTA no es una organización de recaudación de fondos. El propósito y la misión de el PTA es hacer realidad
el potencial de cada niño mediante la participación y el empoderamiento de las familias y comunidades para
defender a todos los niños. Si bien es necesario recaudar fondos, el propósito general de nuestro PTA es servir
y brindar oportunidades para que usted participe en nuestra escuela. Verá muchas actividades y eventos
nuevos en nuestra escuela y nos gustaría invitarlo a participar de cualquier manera que pueda. Este mes, nos
gustaría involucrar a nuestra comunidad masculina organizando un evento “Donuts with Dad” o "Donas con
Papa". Estudios muestran que cuando los padres (o figuras paternas) están involucrados en la educación de
¡
un niño, hay un aumento en el éxito de ese estudiante. Papás, acompáñenos el 15 de noviembre en el centro
de medios! No olvide confirmar su asistencia: https://www.cfmspta.org/dwd
Si tienen alguna pregunta puede comunicarse con Ms. Santiago via correr electronico a
santiagomab@pcsb.org.
Atentamente,
Estelle Valsamis
CFMS PTA President

DO YOU KNOW WHAT AN ACE SCORE IS?
Adverse childhood experiences or ACEs are common,
and may have lasting long-term effects on our mental
and physical wellbeing when not addressed. Raising
awareness about ACEs can help to reduce stigma
around seeking help as well as promote safe, stable,
and nurturing environments where children live, learn,
and play. Learn more at our next in-person PTA
Meeting on 11/16 at 6pm.
