A huge thank you to Ms. Paton and Ms. Retaino for planning a fun and exciting Field Day. Students enjoyed all of the different games and activities that they took part in and showed their Cougar spirit, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout the day. Thank you also to the many parent volunteers who helped make the day a success!
All Kindergarten parents are cordially invited to a “Kindergarten Celebration” on Wednesday, June 7th at 2:15 PM in your child’s classroom. You should have received additional information from your child’s classroom teacher. We look forward to celebrating a great end to Kindergarten and sharing all that the students have learned this year!
5th Grade students enjoyed a beautiful day at Spring Lake Day Camp in Ringwood this past week. This field trip served as one of many special end-of-year events to help our 5th graders celebrate their years at Coolidge School. We are so proud of all that these students have accomplished. Thank you to the entire PTO for your fundraising efforts to pay for this trip!
