CHEER NEWS

The College Park Cheerleaders have a couple of opportunities for you to show your Cavalier pride.

Senior Banner sales are now open at cpspirit.com. Banners will be up from January until May, just in time to display at a graduation party or simply keep as a priceless memory! All banners will be dis-played in the main hallways, paying

tribute to the Class of 2019! This is a wonderful way to commemorate your Senior! All orders must be submitted with a photo by December 15.

We have another exciting opportunity to boost school spirit at College Park presented by the CP Cheerleaders and Card My Yard. You can CP a student's yard! The package includes Cavaliers signage, 2 graphics of your choice, accent stars, Cavalier graphic, College Park pennant, "You've been CP'd" yard signs and a door hanger stating who CP'd you and how to continue the chain. Visit cpspirit.com for more information!

We want to make sure that everyone is off to a great start. In order to do so, we want to remind parents and students of information in the handbook about deliver-ies to students during the school day.

1. If a student forgets an items at home (lunch, project, assignment), we are happy to have a process in place that allows the parent to sign-in the item in the front office. Students will pick up the item in the assistant principals office between classes or during lunch.

2. Please remember that food items that are delivered for a student by the parent should be for the student only. Due to health and safety issues, you cannot deliver food for a group of students.

3. In order to maintain the best learning environment please know that we are unable to accept any deliv-ery from an outside vendor (flowers, balloons, food) for students.

4. Car services, such as Lyft and Uber, are not allowed to pick up students up for appointments or to travel from school in any method.

We appreciate all of your cooperation and help in making this a smooth year.
