Cougar Connect – February 4, 2024
Dear Coolidge Families,
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! After a long stretch of gloomy weather, it was great to see the sunshine. Here are all of the latest PTO updates and reminders for the week. If you'd like to read Mr. Famularo's update, with information about Kindergarten Registration, the Student Government Food drive, and other school news, you can find it here.
Economy Shop
Coolidge’s Next Economy Shop week is February 27th - March 3rd.
Sign Up Here!
We’re also in need of managers!! It’s all the same volunteer work except you get to choose the music and use the scanner! Contact Ashley if you’re interested in manager training.
Thank you SO MUCH for all your help in keeping the Economy Shop open and running smoothly. We’re 100% volunteer run, and 100% of the profits go back to our schools.
4th and 5th Grade Kids Night at Sky Zone
The NEW date for 4th/5th grade kids night is Friday, February 9th from 7-9pm at Skyzone in Allendale.
You do not need to RSVP again; BUT if your RSVP has changed please email [email protected]. If I don't hear from you I will assume your child is attending.
For those few who couldn't make the initial date- if your child can now attend- can you please email me as well.
Volunteers- I will assume you can make it on the 9th unless I hear from you.
Remember- Sky Zone socks and white/neon shirts.
Harlem Wizards
We're SO excited to bring the Harlem Wizards back to Wyckoff! This year, all four elementary school PTOs will team up to create a fun night for our community while raising funds for our schools!
Details about tickets and souvenirs will be available soon.
Event support will be coordinated by volunteers from the four elementary school PTO’s in Wyckoff. If you are interested in joining the Coolidge volunteer committee, please contact Sammi Eletto at [email protected]

Volunteers for Monday lunch needed!
Calling all Monday lunch volunteers! We have 200 orders for Monday lunch, but only have a few parents to help serve. If you ordered lunch for your child, please consider taking one Monday between now and June to help out. We’ve created a new, streamlined serving process to make this one of the easiest volunteer opportunities for the PTO. Your help is extremely appreciated!
Pizza Lunch Volunteer Opportunity
We ask that you also consider volunteering to serve pizza lunch. The obligation only takes about 20 minutes and it helps the lunch run smoothly if parents who know the kids are the ones serving them. Please sign up for a session or 2!
Theme Day
Workshop leaders: A digital guidebook was sent out on Thursday evening. If you didn't receive it, please email [email protected]
Thank you!
