You guessed it! Your hospitality team is celebrating Pi Day for our Cougar Staff on Friday, March 14th. We will have pizza pies as well as a huge variety of dessert pies. No need to cook a pie, we'll purchase those, but we need a lot of hands to cut and serve pie slices as our staff comes into the Teacher's Lounge. Can you take just one hour out of your Friday to help?

Staff Appreciation Week Fundraising
We are 43% of the way to reaching our goal of raising $5,000 for our Staff Appreciation Week and Hospitality events for the rest of the year. Please help us get there! https://www.culbrethptsa.org/shop/ptsa-hospitality-contribution
And did you hear? As a gift to all teachers and staff one (of the many) things we will be doing during Staff Appreciation Week is UPDATING THE TEACHERS LOUNGE! It is in dire need of a facelift and some redecorating and maybe even a new dishwasher! So exciting!
Culbreth parents & students! TABLE and the CHCCS PTA’s are partnering together for a March Madness food drive.
TABLE is a Carrboro-based nonprofit that delivers weekly healthy food and nutrition education to 1,100 kids in Orange County, many of whom participate in the free/reduced school meal program.
For our March Madness Food Drive, Culbreth is assigned just ONE kind of food item to collect. The goal is that our school would contribute 200 15oz cans of tomato/spaghetti sauce with less than 600mg sodium and NO GLASS!
We are having a competition between 6th, 7th and 8th grades to see who can donate the most cans. Bins are just inside the walker and bus rider doors.
Volunteer Needed for 8th Grade Dance
We are looking for a volunteer to plan the 8th grade dance. If you are able to help with this, please message Taylor Dansby: culbrethptsapresident@gmail.com
