A Message from the William E. Cottle Elementary School- The Cottle Weekly
March 22, 2024
Dear Cottle Families,
This week’s PTA/GO sponsored Multicultural Spirit Week activities gave students an opportunity for shared learning and fun. The week began with students wearing various countries’ colors and informing each other about the sports, flags, and other items that represented their different cultures.
Then crazy socks that “rocked” were the fashion statement on Thursday, worn to spread awareness for Down Syndrome Day. The week wrapped up with students wearing all kinds of “readable” shirts as part of Read Across America Month. Thank you to our wonderful GO members for their creativity that always energizes events at Cottle.
We are now into our third marking period. Thursday and Friday were also the days for Parent/Teacher conferences at Cottle. It is always very encouraging to see so many families in our building to meet with their child’s/children’s teachers for these face-to-face interactions. Your active participation in our students’ education is truly appreciated by WEC’s faculty, staff and administration, and its importance cannot be overstated.
News from the Music Department: We would like to congratulate three of our Cottle cubs for participating in the Westchester All County Chorus and Orchestra this past weekend.
Adelina Kocovic - All County Chorus / Soprano
Misa Percell - All County Chorus / Alto
Riyaan Walambe - All County Orchestra / Violin
Also, the Piano NYSSMA registration is still open until mid-April. Please contact Mrs. Kim for further details.
This past Wednesday, Tuckahoe High School and Cottle Elementary students came together for a transformative educational experience with the Junior Achievement Academy. Aimed at equipping younger students with crucial life skills, the program covered decision-making, planning, and financial literacy, with high school seniors stepping into the role of "High School Heroes" to mentor and teach their younger counterparts.
The collaboration between Junior Achievement USA, Tuckahoe teachers, and students has resulted in engaging and enriching lessons that not only bridge the gap between high school and elementary education but also introduce vital concepts of financial literacy to students at an early age. The initiative reflects Tuckahoe's commitment to comprehensive education, seamlessly integrating real-world skills into the classroom.
The partnership with Junior Achievement Academy has successfully enhanced the educational journey of students across the district. This program stands as a testament to Tuckahoe's innovative approach to education, highlighting the importance of community involvement and practical learning in shaping future leaders.
