Dear Cottle Families,

As part of Random kindness Week (RAK) our dynamic PTA sponsored their annual Community Service Night. Cubs in Grades 3-5 were able to rotate among several activity stations where they could contribute in a hands-on way to local causes. Thank you to all the organizers and all who participated in helping our school and community.
Today we celebrated Valentine’s Day at WEC with all classes taking part in caring and sharing activities with classmates. Thank you especially to all the Class Parents, Teachers, Staff and to Nurse Higgins for coordinating all the Valentine’s Day arrangements.

PTA EVENTS AT A GLANCE
- 3/27 (Mon), Building Bridges - Volunteers Needed!
PTA EVENT DETAILS
Building Bridges - Volunteers Needed! Coming soon: During the week of March 23, the Tuckahoe PTA is pleased to bring the Building Bridges program back to Cottle, and we will be expanding into Tuckahoe Middle School with an exciting assembly in April. Building Bridges is designed to teach students about people with different disabilities and neurodiversities. Each elementary grade covers a different topic, and parent volunteers engage with interactive activities for each class (and we make it super easy!). Stay tuned for a SignUpGenius coming out after the February break. Time slots get snapped up quickly, so don't miss your opportunity to help your kids' class build inclusivity for all.
Next week, of course, school will be closed for Mid-Winter Break. We wish you and your families a relaxing time, and hopefully some warmer weather! As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at Cottle.
Sincerely,
John Morash and Peter Kilgallen,
Principal Assistant Principal
