We ask that no candy shaped like body parts be included in the candy that your student brings in.

CIS Ski Club - Ski Club has officially opened the signups for ski club. We have a couple weeks less to get everyone signed up this year so I would not put it off. Nov 11 is the last day. If your child is riding the bus signup immediately because there is limited seating and once it's gone, it's gone. PLEASE download the instruction page and medical release/ kings liability form from our website at the time you sign up, complete the medical form and mail it to the coordinator for your club. If you have a student in each club you have to mail a form to each coordinator and you have to sign them up for the correct club. Technically we only need the forms for bus riders but having them for non-bus riders allows us to help in the event they have any issues at PN. 

Club starts week of January 9 and ends weeks of January 30th

If school is cancelled or there is a delay, we will not have Ski Club. We will do our best to make up the session in February. 

Your child can bring his/her own equipment or rent at PN.

Parents and siblings may also take advantage of the special club pricing. 

Bus will depart CIS immediately after school on Wed and be home usually around 845.

TradeGlobal Packaging Volunteers

Volunteer Opprotunity: CIS has been presented with a new and better way to fundraise!  No selling, baking, etc involved.  Just your time:) TradeGlobal is a West Chester packaging company for companies like Avon, Tory Burch, and Puma. They look for volunteers with non-profits/schools to pack boxes for them during the holiday season.  As a volunteer, you would be packing their orders for shipment.  The shift is 7:45am-4pm. TradeGlobal will make a donation between $100-$160 for each person for each shift we can cover.  The maximum amount we can make on this fundraiser is in excess of $25,000. Part of the funds we would raise ($5,500) will be used to finance a glass blowing artist that will spend 2 weeks at CIS teaching the kids the art of glass blowing and giving them the opportunity to contribute to a school project that will be displayed in the front window of the school for many years to come. Sign up for as many spots as you can and sign up your friends, relatives and neighbors too:) This a great and easy way to help raise funds to be used in our own school!
