CNE Elementary is presenting Disney's The Aristocats on November 10 and 12 at UC Clermont's Krueger Auditorium. Many of the cats, dogs and geese flocked to the K-5 classrooms to read cat books to the students and issue personal invitations to the show. Carlie, the highway worker cat, Valerie, the doctor cat, and Josh, Napoleon (the leader of the dog army) enjoyed their time with the younger students.
