Cougar Connect – November 10, 2024
Hello Coolidge Community,
During this season of gratitude, and especially tomorrow, let's take a moment to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Thank you, Veterans!
Our heartfelt appreciation also goes out to the firefighters who have worked tirelessly to combat recent brushfires in our area, keeping our communities safe.
There are many updates and opportunities to share in this week's newsletter. Please read on for more details about upcoming events, school activities, and ways you can get involved.
Have a good week!

And NEW this year - you can keep track of all your sign-ups, right on the PTO website! Click on your profile (on the upper right corner) and click on 'my signup receipts'! In addition, we will be sending reminder emails within 48 hours prior to your assigned day.
Volunteering is EASY! We've streamlined the process even further! Plus, there will be an assigned 5th grade representative who will act as manager, volunteering alongside you. Lunchtime volunteering is a great opportunity to help out, and also meet new people in the community. Plus, it's an opportunity to see your kids while they're still excited to see you!
Please consider volunteering! Any questions? Please contact the 5th Grade Committee at [email protected] .
Economy Shop Update
We have many open shifts that need coverage over the next two weeks. Please consider volunteering for two hours- either 10 to 12 or 12 to 2. We have evening hours on Thursday night and openings on Saturday. The Economy Shop is 100% volunteer run and NEEDS your support to keep doors open. Last year the Economy Shop donated a total of $16,000 to each school (all 4 elementary schools, middle school, and both high schools). Each school got $16,000!!! If we want the profits to help our school, then we all have to help out. It takes a whole community to keep the doors open and the shop running. Please click the link below to find a time to volunteer. We are so thankful for your support.
“We are Wyckoff” Spirit Wear Sale
“We Are Wyckoff” gear is now on sale! There are some cool new design options this year! Shop until November 15th. Don’t miss out!
Tons of Toys/ Tons of Treasures Shopping Days
Book Fair Update
Teacher wish list books have come in and we are so thankful for your support. All donated books were labeled with student’s name and the teacher’s name. Thank you for buying books for your favorite teachers and helping us raise so much money! All profits have been donated back to the school and every classroom will be purchasing new books to add to their collections. The Coolidge library will also be using the profits to make a large purchase of new books. Because of YOU this is possible. Thank you for being an amazing community and supporting literacy at Coolidge.
