Cougar Weekly Update
September 21, 2018
Principal's Message
A huge thank you goes to our PTO and Olweus Committee for a wonderful Ice Cream Social this week. It was great to see so many people come to support anti-bullying and enjoy time socializing together. Building community is a large part of what we do. We appreciate when parents take time to come to school!
I am also excited to highlight our Bucket Fillers for September! These students exemplify good citizenship through their actions each day. I am proud of all they do to make Cougar a great community of learners!

School Safety Drill - Lock Down Drill
As part of our school procedures this week your student listened to a story on the ALICE procedure. This is how we as a school meet the requirement for a lock down drill which is appropriate for the age of our students. More information can be found at https://www.mpark.net/page-3/school-safety. It is important that our children are aware and
prepared for emergencies.
