As you may be aware, Mrs. Needleman is retiring at the end of this school year after serving as Coolidge School’s media specialist for the past thirteen years. We thank her for her service to our students and the school community and wish her much health and happiness in retirement!
Episode #5 of “The Cougar’s Cave” is now available for viewing. Click here to see the episode.
Coolidge School Kindergarten students received a special visit from “Unique Creatures” this week at school. This assembly for Kindergarten students provided them with an opportunity to learn about different creatures and to get an up-close experience!
Our fifth-grade students will join 5th graders from Lincoln, Sicomac, and Washington Schools for a day of swimming and fun at the Wyckoff YMCA Spring Lake this Tuesday, June 11th. The rain date is June 12th. Lunch will be provided courtesy of the PTO (parents already filled out a Jersey Mike’s order form).
The Lost and Found is overflowing! All items will be donated to a local charity at the end of the school year so please stop by the front foyer to look for any missing articles of clothing. Parents are encouraged to write their child’s name on pieces of clothing so we can return it to them during the school day.
WEF BACK TO SCHOOL COLOR RUN
On Friday, we held a kick-off for the upcoming WEF "Back to School" Color Run featuring Adam Kaplan from Schoolathon! Your student came home with a pamphlet on Friday with more information and directions on how to register. Mark your calendars, this year's event is being held on Saturday, September 7, at 11 am at Eisenhower Middle School. This will be the official kick-off of the school year for the entire community.
Additionally, there is some friendly competition among the 5 schools:
• “Top School for Donations Raised” Receives a $500 Bonus for their PE program
• “Winners Circle”: Top 3 – 5 students from each school get to:
- Stand with the DJ and shout - “Runners start your race!”
- “Blast” their principal with color
We want to win the “Top School for Donations”! Please help us get there! Every little bit counts! Funds will be used across the Wyckoff School District to fund scholastic programs outside of the school budget. Let’s win this! What a great way to start the new year and kick off WEF's 35th Anniversary!
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out directly to WEF at info@wefnj.org or 201-977-2885.
