Welcome to CPCS
The mission of Chesapeake Public Charter School is to offer each student a unique educational experience within a reflective learning community. Through a modified school calendar, multi-age students in small class settings will engage in a curriculum of meaningful connections and diverse perspectives. This engagement will be achieved using technology, the environment, the arts and community resources. This school will provide a safe, orderly, caring and joyful reflective atmosphere in which respect for all is evident and the outcome of empowered, self-directed learners is expected. Our goal is to build a solid foundation for higher education and the desire to continue learning, growing, sharing, and contributing in multiple capacities throughout each person’s life.

A Vintage Affair: Leap Back to the Roaring 20’s
It is time again for our annual silent auction! A Vintage Affair is our largest fundraising event of the year, raising $15,000-$20,000 for our school. Our theme this year is a “Leap Back to the Roaring ‘20s”. The evening features delectable hors d'oeuvres from Quality Street Kitchen, handcrafted cocktails and a chance to bid on some amazing silent auction items.
This year’s event will be held on Saturday, February 29th from 7 pm-11 pm at the Bay District VFD Social Hall in Lexington Park, Maryland. Tickets are $30 each through February 14th and can be purchased via A Vintage Affair: Leap Back to the Roaring 20's eventbrite or by submitting payment to the school. Mark to the attention of Mrs. McLeod and checks payable to CCSA. Be sure to order your tickets early, prices go up on February 15th to $60 each. Cocktail attire is requested for this event and period attire is highly encouraged.
To help make this event a success, we need your help! Donations for silent auction items are greatly appreciated. Have something new that you just aren't going to use? Maybe a gift card? How about a talent, craft or hobby that you would like to share? Perhaps a vacation home? The possibilities are endless. We also have sponsorship opportunities for local businesses!
Help us get the word out! A Vintage Affair is open to everyone in our community. The more attendees, the more money we raise. Share the flyer with family, friends and your community.
If you would like to donate or if you have any questions, please contact Shannon Norris, shannon.norris1@gmail.
