Visit www.32auctions.com/cunniffbricks for more information about our Silent Auction beginning on April 26!

Cunniff West welcomed back many of its students and staff for full days of in-person learning earlier this month.  The PTO sponsored balloon displays by Balloon Nation to celebrate the occasion and also distributed treat bags for the nearly 60 staff members.

We held our virtual Scholastic book fair last month and were happy to be able to purchase over $475 in Scholastic books for the Cunniff classrooms.  We also sponsored the purchase of an outdoor 6'x5' shed to store the stadium cushions being used by students for lunch in the tents at Cunniff West.  

Stay tuned for some exciting events and fundraising opportunities currently in the planning stages to be announced in the coming weeks!  For now, take a sneak peak at our prestigious, one-of-a-kind brick #01 in a custom case available for bidding in our upcoming silent auction!

Join us on Tuesday, February 2 at 7:00pm for our next PTO meeting on Zoom. The meeting link will be provided in this weekend's newsletter from Ms. Ciarlone and posted on our PTO Facebook group once available. At the meeting, we look forward to an update from Ms. Ciarlone as well as a discussion about upcoming fundraisers and virtual events, including an auction for bricks from our old Cunniff building, an online Scholastic book fair, options for a school-wide virtual International Night, student enrichment ideas and more!

Thank you to Cunniff parent, Susanne McFarlin Brueggeman, for preparing and delivering these beautiful fall treat bags for our Cunniff West teachers and to Russo's for donating the flowers!
