Cougar Connect – June 16th, 2024
Dear Coolidge PTO Families,
Happy Father’s Day to our PTO Dads! We hope you had a relaxing day! Please read below for some updates, reminders, and gratitude for our much loved 3rd VP, as we head into this final week of school.
Thank you, Mrs. Needleman!
Our 3rd VP, Mrs. Needleman, has served as a link between the PTO and Coolidge School for many years. She’s facilitated our PTO author visits, co-directed the media center volunteer program, organized student presentations for PTO meetings, assisted us with Theme Day planning, and much more. She’s also provided the PTO board with valuable insight when we’ve needed guidance. She’s so treasured and will be missed, but we’re excited for all the adventures that await her in her retirement.
Wishing you all the best, Mrs. Needleman! Thank you for everything you’ve done for the Coolidge School PTO!
June PTO Meeting
Please join us for the final meeting of the Coolidge School PTO for the 2023-2024 school year on June 18th at 9:15am. We’ll say goodbye (and thank you!) to the board members who’ve completed their terms, and we’ll welcome some new PTO board members too. Refreshments will be served. Please let us know if you can attend.
Uncle Louie G’s Italian Ices
The PTO is excited to treat all Coolidge students and staff to Uncle Louie G’s Italian Ices on Thursday, June 20th. The PTO is able to arrange for this due to the generous support our community provides throughout the year. Thank you for supporting our fundraisers!

Economy Shop
While the Economy Shop has closed we continue to reap the benefits of the shop. Our third distribution check for this spring was $7,000 which brings our total distribution to $16,000 this school year! Yes, that’s right. The Economy Shop donated $16,000 to Coolidge in the 2023-2024 school year, their highest donation ever.
All 4 Wyckoff elementary schools, Eisenhower, Ramapo, and Indian Hills received $16,000 this year. We made over $120,000 at the Economy Shop this school year- an incredible feat that wouldn’t be possible without YOU!
As you clean out closets this summer please hold onto your donations and drop them at the shop in September. We’ve currently got an empty shop that will need to be filled before we open.
Thank you once again for all your donations, your time spent volunteering, and your support of the Economy Shop. Can’t wait to see you all in the fall!!
