A Message from the William E. Cottle Elementary School- The Cottle Weekly
November 27, 2024
Dear Cottle Families,
President John F. Kennedy said, “We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives.” In that spirit, as we prepare to take a short break from school for Thanksgiving, Mr. K and I wanted to take a minute to express our gratitude to some difference-makers in our daily lives.
We are grateful to our students. Your boundless enthusiasm, energy, and intellectual curiosity keep us on our toes every day and infuse us with positivity and optimism. We are also extremely grateful to your families for their support and for their steadfast interest and participation in their children’s education.
We are grateful to our faculty, administrators, and to the entire staff here at Cottle. You are the ones who make it possible for children to learn, to explore, to have confidence, and to grow academically, socially, and emotionally at WEC, and to do so in a safe, healthy, nurturing environment.
We are grateful to all our PTA members and to all the volunteers who work tirelessly and so creatively to enliven our school with special events and intriguing projects. Together we are Cottle, and we are thankful today and every day!
