We are YOU!
The Cambridgeport Parent Teacher Organization (CPTO) is an open membership of caregiver volunteers working together to support our children, families, and teachers through events and fundraising initiatives to benefit the entire Cambridgeport School.
Saturday May 17th, 2-5pm
The Spring Fling is coming up! And we would love your help in planning and making things happen on the day. If you have an idea for a booth – think arts & crafts, plantings, games etc. – please let us know. The more activities we have the more fun!
And most of all, we need people to help out on the day to run tables – even an hour will make all the difference! Share any and all ways you can help by, filling out this Volunteer Signup Form.
Spring Fling Auction
The Cambridgeport Online Auction is live! Be sure to see all the great items you can bid on, from restaurant gift cards to fun activities and more. Thanks to generous donations from the Cambridgeport community and local businesses, all proceeds from the auction go to the Cambridgeport PTO. The auction runs until 24th May, so check it out and get your bids in!
The Bike Bus is back!
We will meet at the Cambridge Main Library Friday, May 16 at 7:30 AM for a fun, community ride to school. We’ll leave promptly at 7:45 AM and arrive at school around 8:05 AM.
This is a great way to start the day with a bit of exercise and connection with fellow families, as well as learn skills for biking in the city. Please note that all kids should have at least one parent or guardian with them, as we won’t be stopping traffic. Let’s ride together for a fun and safe journey to school!
Volunteering at Hannan Family Farm
We are excited to share this wonderful opportunity for you and your family to volunteer at the Hannan Healthy Foods Farm in Lincoln, MA. The Hannan family has been part of Cambridgeport for 15 years and they invite all Cambridgeport families to help get their beautiful organic farm ready for the season. It is a great way to get out into nature, and move your attention away from screens and headlines. Your children are welcome and there are light tasks for everyone.
Come out and spend some time working together, having fun and building community that lasts.
Watch the video of Afsheen’s dad on the farm.
Sign Up list is updated every week with new opportunities.
Treat Train 2025
We love our teachers and staff at Cambridgeport and can’t think of a better way to show our thanks and appreciation than with a weekly treat! Three years ago, we started the “Treat Train” as a way to thank our teachers and staff for all they do to care for, nurture and educate our kids. And with such a positive response from both staff and families, we are thrilled to bring Treat Train back again this year! There are only 10 slots left!! So be sure to sign up today.
We’ve heard from so many in the school how wonderful this has been. Thank you to all who have contributed!
Thank you to everyone who bought a pint – the batch is now sold! And we have a winning name:
The P Squad (Perfect Purple Panda Pint)

March 22, 10am-2pm — Thank you to all of our fabulous volunteers!!!
On a beautiful Saturday, the C’Port community of students, families, teachers and staff joined together for a day of volunteering to clean and organize the school. Volunteers scrubbed tables and chairs, steam cleaned rugs, re-shelved books, organized gym supplies, re-papered torn bulletin boards, and restocked the staff lounge with snacks and drinks. Students and families wrote thank you cards for every staff member, and brightened up rooms with spring flowers. It was an awesome day of service, smiles and laughter, and a reminder of what a special community we have at C’Port. Thank you to all who came to participate and show their support, and also to those who donated snacks and supplies. We could not have done it without you!
A huge thank for our fabulous organizers who pulled off this amazing event in record time, and to Kakra, our wonderful custodian who welcomed all of us and kept everything running smoothly. We are so lucky to have you. Thank you!
And thank you to Kristen Joy Emack for sharing this video of Make a Difference Day. It perfectly captures the spirit of the day!
