Totes for the Teen Guys For the fourth year in a row, Ashley McKinley, a senior at Colton-Pierrepont Central School, has chosen to help children in foster care in St. Lawrence County. This summer her focus was on teenage boys. Ashley purchased 30 cinch sacks for her “Totes for the Teen Guys” service project. The bags were filled with self-care items such as shampoo, face wash, body wash, antiperspirant, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, towels, a water bottle, and a beanie. Ashley asked neighbors, teachers, and family members to each sponsor a teenage boy in order to shop locally to buy the products. Each bag also has a note from Ashley encouraging the boys to have a good year and to celebrate their perseverance. For the project  Ashley said, “I would like every teenage boy in foster care to feel he has the same products you and I buy to feel clean and ready to face the day.”

The mandatory Athletic Meeting and Laptop Meeting for athletes in grades 7-12 will be held this evening, 8/16/23 in the auditorium. The Laptop meeting starts at 5:30PM. Families will need to complete paperwork and pay for laptop insurance prior to the meeting. The cost is $10 per students or $25 for a family of 3 or more. Cash or check accepted with checks payable to CPCS. The Athletic meeting will follow the Laptop meeting.

Please check your email for information on upcoming events.
