Are you looking for a classroom gift, but not sure what teachers need? This year's CPTO Teacher's Wish Tree is up, and full of wishes which will benefit classroom and student needs! Simply pick an ornament or two from the tree which is labeled with a teacher and their wish. Purchase the item and then send it with your student to give to their teacher. You may also drop it off to the school office, wrapped and labeled by December 19th to be distributed. The tree is located in the link hallway, next to the gym. On behalf of CPTO, Merry Christmas and Thank You!

December 5th & 6th only, you get access to special bonuses and you don’t pay the online fee when you pay with a Discover, Mastercard, or Visa credit card —which means you don’t pay the 2.6% fee per transaction.
