Thank you Veterans!

Cumberland CUSD #77 will be presenting our annual appreciation for our Veterans in virtual format on Thursday, November 11. Viewing of our many students and their contributions to this event will be visible from our school website at www.cumberland.k12.il.us. You will find a link for "Veterans Day 2021" which will take you directly to our tribute. If you have any Veteran or active duty service man or woman that you wish to have listed in our Power Point document, please email Mr. Daniel Huffman at dhuffman@cusd77.org by Thursday, November 4. If you have previously listed your Veteran or active duty service man or woman in the past, you do not need to send that information again unless he or she has achieved a higher ranking or change in status. Thank you to all of you who have sacrificed so much for all of us! Further questions can be directed to Mrs. Stacy Keyser, Cumberland Middle School Principal at skeyser@cusd77.org.

Cumberland Elementary and Middle School Birthday Celebrations We are looking for donations to help pay for our monthly birthday celebrations for the 2021-2022 school year. Last year was the first year that the elementary school switched to having school-wide celebrations and they went over so well that the middle school is joining us this year. Having days set aside for school-wide celebrations allows all students to celebrate their birthdays equally and teachers are able to set aside time once a month for the celebrations rather than multiple times for individual parties. If you would like to make a contribution and help sponsor the birthday celebrations, it would be greatly appreciated. It costs between $300-$400 each month for cupcakes or cookies that are purchased at local businesses. This year we will be creating a list of donors to publish along with a few pictures of the celebrations each month. Donations will be pooled together to sponsor the entire year rather than once a month donations like we did last year. If individuals or businesses would like to donate, please send a check to Cumberland Elementary and Middle School, 1496 IL Rt 121, Toledo, Illinois 62468. No donation will be too small. Anonymous donations will be kept anonymous and if you would like a receipt for tax purposes, please let us know. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please call 217-923-3132 or email us at dhuffman@cumberland.k12.il.us or skeyser@cumberland.k12.il.us. We appreciate your continued support for our school. You will be helping our students feel so special on their special day! Thank you, Daniel Huffman Elementary Principal Stacy Keyser Middle School Principal
