A Message from the William E. Cottle Elementary School- The Cottle Weekly
Happy November, families!
As we reach the middle of the month, we’ve had another week full of exciting learning and fun here at school. Our students have been hard at work, whether it's tackling new math concepts, exploring creative writing, or even completing a ninja warrior obstacle course (Thank you PTA). We’re also gearing up for some special events and activities in the coming weeks, so be sure to check out the updates below. We’re so proud of all the progress our students are making and look forward to sharing more of their achievements with you!
A big thank you to our amazing PTA for organizing a fantastic Wellness Week! From fun activities to helpful tips on staying healthy, they made this week a special experience for our students and staff. We appreciate their hard work and dedication to promoting wellness in our school community. Thank you, PTA, for all you do to support our school!
