Principal's Message
Another amazing year is finished! I am so proud of the work our teachers and students have done this year. Everyone has learned and grown over the course of the last 180 days. I am excited for what the future holds for our second graders as they transition to Manassas Park Elementary next year! I wish you all the best!
Have a great summer!
Mrs. Gwynn

St. Jude's Mathathon
Thank you to all our families for their support of this year’s St. Jude Math-a-Thon. For the past 29 years, Manassas Park City Schools has supported St. Jude Research Hospital through this event. This year we surpassed our goal of $4000 and raised over $6000 for St. Jude. That means to date the families of Manassas Park City Schools have raised over $161,000 for the children of St. Jude.
Thank you again for supporting this event while encouraging your child to practice important math skills.

Kindergarten Sang!
Padlet Pals with Ugandan Students
Cougar Elementary students got the opportunity to communicate with elementary school students in Uganda using Padlet. Together, students practiced speaking and writing in complete sentences. Students introduced themselves and shared some of their favorite things to do! Students also shared about the weather in each location. Students on both sides were excited to send messages across the ocean! Thanks to Mrs. Larance and Ms. Marbury for Coordinating the effort through Educate Me!
