Our school is well-maintained by a dedicated volunteer staff.  Without their assistance, our school couldn't have the professional appearance we value so much.

 

Our special events and fundraisers are organized by volunteer members of our PTO and what a great job they do!  Thank you especially to Mrs. Susan Woodward, Mrs. Marcela Willmore and Mrs. Brianna Sansone.

 

Our school could not have the sports programs that we enjoy here at CAWNY without our volunteer coaches.
