PTA Events at Crofton Elementary School


The Crofton Elementary PTA sponsors a number of events throughout the year. Plans are always underway for new and exciting events that are fun for your whole family – check back regularly for more information.

Back To School Night

September 1, 2010
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Classrooms and 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.

Visit the PTA in the cafeteria to learn about PTA programs and volunteer opportunities. PTA board members and program coordinators will be available to answer any questions.

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.

Other PTA annual events:



Haunted Halls/Monster Mash

In October we'll have fall-themed fun activities for the whole family at the annual Haunted Halls/Monster Mash! Come for the fortune telling, face painting, mad scientist laboratory, pumpkin decorating, coloring projects, and games; dance to tunes spun by a DJ. Details available in October.



The Great Pumpkin Contest

Back by popular demand!


2010 will feature the third annual Great Pumpkin Contest! Start thinking of your scariest, funniest, most creative ways to decorate your family's pumpkin. Pumpkins or any size can be carved, painted, and/or decorated. More information will come home in backpacks in October.



Holly Jolly Workshop

This fun-filled morning in early December starts the holiday season with a jingle! In the past, Crofton Elementary has made seasonal cards and decorations for Crofton Convalescent Care Center and has sent holiday greetings to our Troops overseas. Enjoy a FREE light continental breakfast. Children will be able to make a festive craft to take home. The whole family is welcome to join in the fun, with bingo games, face painting, and a holiday sing-a-long. (Supplies and activities will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.)




Science Fair

Experience the wonders of science at the Crofton Elementary Science Fair! Held annually in February, the Science Fair gives 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

Held in late winter, this is a 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???
