Reflections from Katie
The fall parent conferences are upon us, and I wanted to be sure that you all know about the importance of these conferences, and what makes conferences at Cambridgeport unique. During the November conference, you will receive a checklist of skills and a habits of mind target report, and in 1st-5th grades, you will have your child participate in a portion of the conference.

 The Story of Us
Cambridgeport parent – and CPS teacher – just had an article, The Story of Us, published in Educational Leadership. It is about a collaboration between Graham & Parks School and the Cambridgeport School. Read the story here >>
You can also pick up a printed copy in the school lobby.

A Note from a Group of Our 5th Graders
Hello Families!
We are a group of 5th graders at the Cambridgeport School. We are helping collect food for our annual Thanksgiving Food Bags and need your help! Each grade will be collecting a certain type of food, and each classroom will get a box to put the food in. The food will be put in bags along with turkeys donated by Mayflower Poultry, and given to families within our Cambridgeport community.
- PreK/K will bring store bought desserts (pies, cakes, or fruit)
- First Grade will contribute sweet and regular potatoes, and bread
- Second Grade and Fifth Grade will bring fresh and canned vegetables
- Third grade will bring gravy and cranberry sauce
- Fourth Grade will be providing stuffing (boxed or bag) or beverages (juice, seltzer, shelf-stable milk)
Please bring non-perishable food items into your classroom from now until the 17th.
Baked goods and fresh vegetables should be dropped off in the Family Room (next to Kristen's office) on November 20th

Math Night & Pasta Dinner
We warmly invite you to come out and join us for a FREE delicious Italian dinner in the cafeteria on November 8th, from 5:30 - 7:30PM!
After eating families can visit classrooms to have lots of fun playing math games together. We need many volunteers to help with serving food, table set-up and clean-up. We also need volunteers to help out with math games with students and families in individual classrooms.
Can you volunteer? Please contact Ms. Lev to help out with math games. Please go to the Google sign-up to volunteer with food, set-up/clean-up. We really want to see you there!
Night at The Museum Family Trip was a Fun Success!
Our FREE trip to the Museum of Fine Art was great! 66 people, young and grown took a bus from Cambridgeport and spent some time looking at art, mummies, sculpture, and painting for free last Friday night.
Hope you join us next time, too :)

Meet CAPI After-School Director Christine Tierney!
How long have you been at Cport?
I think…..since 1993. I think it is my 24th year! Crazy, right? I started as an after-school teacher and became the director about 18 years ago.
What is something about you no one knows?
I am now an editor! I just launched my own online literary journal. It is called Little Leo.
If you were not an educator would would your dream job be?
I would be a veterinarian or own my own gift shop.
What kind of animal would you be?
A cat, of course! (my initials are C.A.T., so maybe I was a cat in another life)
