The reality of limited state funding means our local schools operate on a rather tight budget.

  • Box of tissue
  • Band-aids
  • Ream of white copier paper (20lb weight)
  • Ream of colored copier paper (20 lb weight)

Items can be brought into the front office at any time during the year.  This is totally optional, but a huge help to our teachers and staff.

2018 Cedar Park 5K Moves to Thursday, 10/4

Screen Shot 2018-08-09 at 11.02.24 AM.png

Cedar Park PTC's biggest fundraiser, the Cedar Park 5K, has been moved to Thursday, 10/4.  

The largest reason for the move is the notification that CPMS sixth graders will be attending Outdoor School during the last week of September, which included the original 5K date. Cedar Park science teachers have lobbied for years to have a fall Outdoor School date, as it facilitates team-building at the start of school.

The Thursday date was chosen as to not conflict with the Jog-a-thons of two of our biggest feeder schools, Bonny Slope and Ridgewood, which are scheduled for 10/5.  

After careful consideration, Dr. Anderson and the 5K leadership felt that the move made the most sense.  5K information will be going home the first week of school.

Questions regarding our biggest fundraiser can be directed to Karen DiPietro, CPMS 5K chair (cedarpark5k@gmail.com).

Cedar Park OBOB Team Places Third at State Tournament

CEDAR PARK CHAMPIONS, FICTION ADDICTION

CEDAR PARK CHAMPIONS, FICTION ADDICTION

Cedar Park's OBOB team, Fiction Addiction, finished third at the State OBOB Tournament in Salem last April.

The road to State was a long road of perserverance and dedication. In order to qualify for the State Tournament, Fiction Addiction had to first win the Cedar Park championship.

From there, they fought through the Regional Tournament in March, where they advanced to the top two regional teams and secured their place at the State Tournament, along with Stoller, Meadow Park, and St. Helens Middle Schools. Only 16 teams from across Oregon qualified for the State Tournament. 

Once at the State Tournament, Fiction Addiction won two battles before losing in the semi-finals to John Muir.  However, they bounced back to win the consolation battle, placing third.

Congrats to Fiction Addiction eighth graders Aila (Ash) H., Tierney G., Anouk C., and Claire K. for an incredible OBOB season. Thanks is also due to Cedar Park LMA Debbie Hernandez and all our CPMS OBOB volunteers.
