PTA NEWS AND EVENTS!
The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our CPM families for their
membership, time, contributions and support this fall. We are having an incredibly successful
year and we would not be able to do it without this strong, supportive community.
We wish the most wonderful Thanksgiving to all of you and your families.
Turkey Trot – November 24, 2022, beginning at 9:00!
We are BLOWN AWAY by the response to our Turkey Trot. We are currently at over 785
Trotters! It's not too late to sign up or donate.
In addition to our PTA, the Trot benefits The Cure Starts Now in support of Avery Lafferty
in her fight to beat brain cancer. The "Avery's Little Army" and CPM 5th grade will have
their own corral so they can run together so look for signs.
The Trot also benefits The Purple Pantry Boxes, so don't forget your non-perishables.
If you are unable to join us, please consider going to the website and making a donation.

We are delighted to announce the People Empowering People program (PEP) is back and better than ever! Offered through our Milford Adult Education department and now in its 2nd year, the program invites individuals who want to learn about and become more involved in their communities and engage with others in a local project of their choosing. This FREE program is held once a week (2 hour sessions) over the course of 14 weeks (10 classroom sessions and 4 community project sessions). Based on the response from last year’s inaugural class, we are happy to offer both daytime and evening cohorts this time! To learn more about this wonderfully empowering program, we encourage you to watch this short video incorporating the thoughts of last year’s participants. And if you are interested, click HERE to get started for the upcoming cohorts, starting Dec. 6th. We look forward to meeting you!
