Children at schools with a broad base of involved parents perform remarkably better in many different measurements of success.

Your time is greatly valued. Here are the many volunteer areas where we welcome your support.

Annual Fun Run

Our annual school fundraiser is the “Fun Run Colt Stampede.” Students recieve pledges and donations to run laps around the ELHS track. Many parent volunteers are needed in planning and holding the event.

PTO Committee

Our school has a wonderful group of volunteer PTO committee members. We appreciate their time and effort toward making sure all the exciting events that take place at CSES are a success.  If you are interested in helping out, please check out our BOARD page as we are in need of a few leads.

Duty-Free Lunch

Every month, we like to give our teachers a much-deserved lunch without their everyday duties in the cafeteria! To make this happen, we need volunteers to help monitor the kids in the cafeteria. Sign-up!
