Student Art Opening – April 18

Box Parade and Fun Run – April 19

Family Fun Day – April 20

(Battle of the Bands – rescheduled for Fall 2024) 

Art at the Park (AATP) is Christ Episcopal School’s fun and unique take on a school fair. This time-honored series of events is the school’s most important and largest fundraiser that supports educational enhancements for the school.

There are many ways to get involved in AATP. From the Opening Night Party geared toward adults and a Box Parade that features creative, student-made box “floats” to the day fair-like Family Fun Day and schoolwide Art Show, this fun-filled week celebrates the strong tradition of the arts at CES.

We need many volunteers for all the events, including in the areas of planning, set-up, and execution. This event definitely takes a village to complete!

Battle of the Bands 2024 is scheduled for Fall 2024

All families at both campuses are invited to celebrate their students’ birthdays by leaving a book legacy in our school libraries! The libraries are funded almost entirely by your generous gifts, and your donation goes directly into the hands of our students. For all of the details on choosing books and the corresponding celebrations, click here.

Early Childhood Campus (ECC)

What better way to leave your child’s legacy at CES than a birthday book dedicated to him or her in the school’s library? Volunteers are needed to organize books, assist students in making their choices, and make book presentations to the students. This volunteer opportunity is once a year.

Christwood Boulevard Campus (CBC)

What better way to leave your child’s legacy at CES than a birthday book dedicated to him or her in the school’s library? Volunteers are needed to organize books, assist students in making their choices, and make book presentations to the students. This volunteer opportunity is bimonthly.

The Scholastic Book Fair takes place in October on both campuses. Proceeds from our Book Fair go directly to support our school library. Volunteers are needed to help our librarians set up the fair and work shifts to assist the students throughout the week.

St. Nicholas makes a special morning visit to the ECC to the delight of our early pre-kindergarten and pre-kindergarten students and their families.  This is an easy, two-day volunteer job with opportunities including setup, decorating, and assistance during the activities.

There is nothing like a little friendly competition on the field to cap off the school year. Volunteers are needed for the Lower School and Junior High field days to organize the events, set up the activities, and help the students play games. This is a one-day volunteer opportunity (Lower School and Junior High events are held on separate days).

Grandparents and Special Friends Day 2023 is scheduled for

CES offers our school and business communities a variety of Christmas poinsettias and greens to decorate with for the holiday season. This fundraiser provides vital funds for classroom and campus equipment and offsets the costs associated with CESPA-sponsored events such as Literary Week and Kindness Week. Volunteers are needed for sales in early October, and help is also needed when orders are delivered to the campus the week after Thanksgiving break.

This week promotes kindness among students and faculty. This committee coordinates activities for students on both campuses throughout one week in October combined with the Raise Craze fundraiser that supports acts of kindness and service from the students to the community. Volunteers are needed for planning and to be on campus during the week to assist.

This night takes place in October during Kindness Week when our students and families come together to participate in activities that strengthen our community. We will have options that may include creating Christmas cards for military members, placemats for Christwood Retirement Community residents, and blankets for the Humane Society. We need volunteers for planning, set-up, and event assistance.

Literary Week is a week-long student enrichment program that brings local authors and performers to our campus for a week of literary adventures. Volunteers will sign up for various shifts to work during  this event.
