Welcome to a new year at Cuningham Park! Here are the first two PTA meeting dates to kick off the school year. While I am working to gain access to the newsletter, I will continue to share updates on Facebook and the website.

August 28th at 5 PM: Celebrate with us at the Pizza Party on the Playground, followed by our first PTA Meeting. An agenda will be posted on the website a few days beforehand. This meeting will primarily cover introductions, plans for the year, and the budget.

September 29th at 7 PM: Our second PTA Meeting will be held in the library. The agenda will be posted approximately a week in advance.

We’re excited to kick off a memorable and successful school year together!

Do you have a child starting kindergarten this fall?

Join us for a Kindergarten playdate this Saturday, August 15th from 10–11 a.m. at Cunningham Park Playground! The PTA will provide Freezee pops for all children—and for adults who are young at heart. In case of inclement weather, please check the FCPS website for cancellations.

Reach out to Patrick Johnsen: [email protected] if you have any questions.

Help bring after-school activities to life for our students—volunteer with us! We’re looking for an enthusiastic After-school Activities Chair and Attendance Volunteers to help create memorable experiences. As Chair, you’ll spearhead exciting programming, collaborate with vendors, and lead the attendance team. Attendance Volunteers only need to give about 15 minutes after school on days we have after-school activities, ensuring our students are safe and accounted for. Volunteering is a rewarding way to connect with other families, strengthen our school community, and directly impact our children’s enrichment. Interested? Contact Patrick Johnsen at [email protected]. Without your support, after-school activities may not happen this fall, and we would need to find an outside company for future programs.

International Night was such an amazing night for our CPES community ❤️

Thank you to everyone who came out, shared your cultures, and helped us learn more about countries from around the world. It meant so much to see everyone come together and celebrate what makes our community so special.

Huge thank you to and ayadancedmv for your incredible performances. You brought so much energy and made the night even more memorable.
