Get Ready to Hit the High 5s and Dive into Splish Splash Island!
Dear College Park Families
We are excited to announce that the Escape to Splish Splash Island adventure is about to begin for our 3rd through 5th-grade students this week! It's time for our young tigers to master their High 5s skills, which will be shared by their respective grade levels.
The main event is scheduled for April 26th at Splish Splash Island, and we can't wait to see our students celebrate their mastered success of the High 5s skills. But before that, on March 15th, we have the Bubble Party, a prelude to the grand escape! It's going to be a blast, and we encourage all parents to join in the festivities.
To add an extra element of fun, we have organized raffle prizes for parents who actively engage with their children during this exciting journey. Check in with your child's teacher on ways to ensure your child masters their High 5s and celebrates the joy of learning.
For 2nd-grade students, their escape adventure begins the week of February 20th, while our youngest learners in Kindergarten, PreK, and 1st grade will commence their escapade in March.
Let's all come together to Hit the High 5s and make this Escape to Splish Splash Island an unforgettable experience for our students. We appreciate your continued support and enthusiasm in making these events memorable for our school community.
If you have any questions or need further information, please don't hesitate to reach out to us or your child's teacher.
Warm regards,
Dr. Maisha N. Otway
Principal, College Park Elementary School

One student from each class was able to win a copy of our book of the month Amazing Grace. The students showcased their joy as they triumphed in winning the coveted Book of the Month, titled "Amazing Grace." Inspired by the empowering narrative, they dove into a thought-provoking assignment where they listed the ways in which they themselves are amazing just like Grace.
