Principal’s Message
Dear Citrus Park Families:
It is hard to believe that the fourth nine weeks of school is already underway. Now is a good
time to reflect and refocus on any school goals your child has set. Our goal is for our children
to finish the school year strong and confident and look forward to the next grade. Thank you
for supporting and encouraging your children during these weeks of testing by getting them to
school on time and ready to show what they know. Our 1st and 2nd graders are finished with the
SAT. Our 3rd and 4th graders are finished with the FSA and 5th grade will begin their FSA testing
the week of April 13th.

We're "Rounding -Up" our future Citrus Park Eagles! Please help us spread the word. Children
who will be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2015 may register for kindergarten. We will
host an informative meeting for incoming 2015-2016 kindergarten students and parents on
Tuesday, May 12th at 5:00 p.m. in our media center. Please help us spread the word to friends
and neighbors.
We are looking forward to our PTA Spring Carnival on April 17th from 5:00-9:00. There will be
something for everyone ------ games, food trucks and even a silent auction including class
theme baskets and special activities with teachers. We hope to see you there!
Our dress up days promoting our “American Cancer Society” giving campaign have been a big
hit. March 17th was a sea of green here at CPE and we enjoyed seeing so many students
dressed like “teachers” last Friday. We are looking forward to seeing students dressed in their
favorite sports apparel on Monday, April 6th. A team of teachers will be participating in the
Citrus Park/Town and Country Relay for Life event at Sickles High School on May 8th-9th (6
p.m.-6 a.m.). Make plans to come out and walk a lap or two with us or just cheer us on! Thank
you for your support in all our endeavors and helping to make our school a wonderful place for
our students and teachers. Citrus Park Families ROCK!!!!
Keeping children first,

Counselor’s Corner
Hello Families, Citrus Park Elementary is proudly participating in The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in lieu of
participating in Pennies for Pasta. This is a great opportunity for our students to learn about the benefits of giving and
working towards a goal. Each year, more than 4 million people in over 20 countries raise much-needed funds and
awareness to save lives from cancer through the Relay for Life movement.
Citrus Park Elementary is participating with the Town and Country/Citrus Park Relay for Life event being held on May 8
at Sickles High School.
In order to meet our goal, Citrus Park is hosting Dollar Days for our students. On specific Dollar Days, students can
donate to participate in the theme for the day. Reminders will be sent out throughout the next few weeks.
If you wish to donate online, you can do so at: http://www.relayforlife.org/. You will search for our team, “Citrus
Park Elementary,” and it will take you to the page to donate. If you wish to write a check, please make it out to The
American Cancer Society.
Thank you for being such supportive parents! Please contact me with any questions. For more information about Relay
for Life: http://www.relayforlife.org/
