Cultural Fair
We are so excited to welcome everyone to Cottage Lake Elementary on January 26th from 5-7 pm for our first annual Multi-Cultural Fair. We will have 14 different cultures for you to learn about. Families will get a passport when they arrive and when you visit each table, you will get a special sticker to add to your passport that represents that culture. We will also have performances in the gym put on by various community groups. It is sure to be a rich and fun learning experience! La Riviera Maya food truck will be on site as a dinner option. We hope you can join us!
If you'd like to volunteer to help organize, setup or tear down the event please email culturefair@cottagelakepta.org.
Watch D.O.G.S
Some of you may know that we are launching Watch D.O.G.S. here at Cottage Lake Elementary in January.
Watch D.O.G.S. is a national organization of fathers, grandfathers, step-fathers, uncles, and other father figures who volunteer at least one day during the year in their child's school. Cottage Lake Elementary is thrilled to have partnered with this program and help provide an extra set of eyes and ears to enhance school security, reduce bullying and provide a greater sense of campus safety allowing students and teachers to focus on learning and instruction. This can only be successful with the help of the ‘Dads’ Of Great Students in our community. Please encourage your spouse, dad, brother, etc to sign up using the following SignUpGenius.
Missoula Children's Theater
We have the amazing opportunity to bring back Missoula Children's Theatre this Spring! Missoula Children's Theater will be at Cottage Lake from April 17-22. This year it will lead about 60 students in the full-length musical comedy, "The Little Mermaid".
If your child thinks they would like to participate, please click here for more information. Please know your child must be available all week along to participate.
An important part of this activity is that we have the opportunity for one or two of our fabulous families to assist in hosting the fabulous directors. If you would like to host one or both of the touring directors or know of someone who would be interested in the accompanist position, please email president@cottagelakepta.org. We are excited to welcome back the Missoula Children's Theater to Cottage Lake this year!
