Upcoming PTA Events





Science Fair

Thursday, February 11, 2010
date changed to February 25 because of inclement weather
6:30pm - 8 pm
CES gymnasium

Experience the wonders of science at the Crofton Elementary Science Fair!

Science Fairs give students the opportunity to study a topic that interests them. Projects can be as varied as the students' interests, such as sports, music, art, rocketry, psychology, and computers. Through the projects, students will discover that science is found in every niche of the universe.

Students in Grade 1 through Grade 5 are invited to participate. Packets are available in the CES main office and are due back by January 29. Winners in Grades 3 through 5 will be invited to the Anne Arundel County Science Fair later this spring.

The entire school community is invited to the CES Science Fair on February 11 25. Come view the students' projects and be amazed!




Family Fun Night

Friday, February 5, 2010
date changed to February 26 because of inclement weather
7pm - 9 pm
CES Cafeteria


coordinated by: PTA Programs Committee

A fun family night to come to school and play with your friends and family. Play on amazing inflatable games in the gym, try your hand at bingo and carnival games, share some munchies, spend time with friends and family -- what better way to chase away the Winter Blues???

Bring at least one board game, physical game, card game, or puzzle to share (be sure to put your name on the box!). Bring a snack or dessert to share with everyone; drinks will be provided by the PTA. Wear comfortable clothes and socks so you can jump on the inflatables.

A flyer with details has gone in backpacks, or download the PDF flyer (47K).

RSVP: For our planning purposes, please reply to pat.hogan5@verizon.net with the number of people attending.

Game Night is brought to you free by your PTA.

Past PTA Events from This Year




New Parent Information Night

Wednesday, August 26
7:00 pm
Media Center (school library)


coordinated by: PTA officers

The Crofton Elementary School PTA is pleased to invite new parents to the New Parent Information Night. This evening is designed to welcome you to our school and assist you during your first weeks at CES. This is an adult-oriented night, different from the New Student Orientation in August that was geared toward your children. Whether your child is entering Kindergarten or you just moved to Crofton, we want to make sure you and your children get off to a great start!

At the New Parent Information Night, the parents will:

Also, for new parents who are interested in volunteering at the school:
All volunteers must view a volunteer video before working in any Anne Arundel County Public School. For more information, read the note for visitors and volunteers.

Back To School Night

Wednesday, September 2
6:00 pm
Classrooms and afterward in cafeteria

While Back To School Night is sponsored by the school itself, the CES PTA is very active in support. BTSN is split into three sessions, so parents with up to three children at CES can visit classrooms and talk to teachers. Note: the presentations are for parents, and CES requests that parents make every effort to arrange childcare so that children do not attend BTSN.

The PTA sponsors a Back To School Night "Happy Hour" in the cafeteria afterwards. Learn about exciting PTA programs this year, sign up to volunteer your time and talents for the school, and meet other parents. PTA board members and program coordinators will be available to answer any questions. In addition, representatives from some non-school community events - like Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts - will be on hand.

The PTA is requesting donations of refreshments for our time together. Please bring items according to the first letter of your last name, and drop them in the cafeteria before making your way to the classrooms. After you have toured the classroom(s), come back to the cafeteria and enjoy!

Also at BTSN, don't miss these opportunities:

Attention adults who are interested in volunteering at the school:
All volunteers must view a volunteer video before working in any Anne Arundel County Public School. For more information, read the note for visitors and volunteers.
