YOUR MONEY AT WORK: Library Upgrades Continue

Cedar Park students have some new digs to sink into, thanks to the generous support of our parent community & PTC. The latests round of improvements arrived last month, with a brand-new seating alcove in the far corner for all CPMS students to enjoy.

CPMS LMA, Debbie Hernandez, shares that students "all love it" and the new couch, loveseat, chair & ottoman have already become popular. The former couch situation was... beyond repair, so this furniture is a welcome and durable addition.

These is the second year of continued library upgrades, funded by your generous 5K donations. Last year's effort included a modular couch and new bistro tables.
