New Tutoring Resources webpage

The PTO has added a page for tutoring resources on the CANS website. Right now we don’t have a lot of resources listed, so we are asking you, the CANS community, for suggestions. If you have a quality tutoring resource you would like to recommend, please email it to canswebmaster@gmail.com

Field Day! Wed. May 24

Field Day is coming up on Wednesday, May 24th! This is one of the students’ favorite days of the year, and we will need a lot of volunteers to make it successful. Signups will be posted on canselementary.org soon!

Volunteers of the Month - April

Like most members of the CANS community, our April honorees lead BUSY professional and personal lives. Cherie Benedict and Justin Bolduc have consistently set aside a few hours each month to help out at CANS, providing much-needed assistance to students and staff on the playground, in the classroom, and at after-hours events. Thank you both for your dedication! Do you have an hour or two to spare? Go to canselementary.org and log in to your account (or create an account in just a few minutes!) to view current volunteer opportunities. You can also contact Volunteer Coordinator, Bree Shaftel, at bree.lehman@gmail.com for other options that fit your schedule

What’s Happening at CCAC?

ART + TALES

Every Tuesday from 9:30 - 10:00 a.m. through May 23

Specially designed for preschoolers, we will read and explore a different picture book each week, then make our own art inspired by the story. Dress to allow for a mess! Books this month include The Alphabet Tree and Where the Wild Things Are. Space is limited: registration is required to reserve your seat!

 

2023 SUMMER CAMPS

Sign your camper up for one of CCAC's week-long visual arts camps this summer. Sessions have already begun selling out, so register soon to guarantee your camper a spot. Our camps are led by certified teaching artists with decades of experience. They will give your child a chance to get creative by exploring different art forms while meeting new friends in a comfortable and welcoming environment. Visit www.cliftonculturalarts.org/summer-camps or call (513) 497-2860 to sign up and learn more.

 

SUMMER CONCERTS SERIES

You have two opportunities every week this summer to catch live music with CCAC in a Cincinnati Park!

  • Meet CCAC at the Burnet Woods Bandstand starting on May 31 for the fifteenth annual Wednesdays in the Woods concert series. Concerts run from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. and feature a variety of local bands, food trucks serving both sweet and savory treats each night, beer for purchase from HighGrain Brewing, and a Kids Art Corner sponsored by The Scripps Howard Fund where children can work on a free project overseen by a certified teaching artist.
  • Saturdays in the Park celebrates art, music, community, and connection at Inwood Park, kicking off on June 3 from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Gather up friends and family, BYO Brunch or pick up breakfast from our on-site food vendor, then settle in next to the park shelter at Inwood Park (or head over to the PNC Grow Up Great Playground!) for a musical morning!
