Dear CCMS Families,
We want to thank everyone who showed interest in our upcoming So Icey Bash. Unfortunately, due to low ticket sales, we have decided to reschedule the event to January. This decision was made to ensure we can provide the best possible experience for all students and families.
We will share more details about the new date and ticket availability in the coming weeks. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to making the So Icey Bash a fun and memorable event in the new year!
Thank you for your continued support of our school and students.
