Monster Mash
Thank you all for coming out to the Monster Mash! It was great to see the community come together to celebrate the season with dancing, bouncing, Bingo, crafts, costumes and so much fun!
Thank you to the Events Committee for planning this event and an extra big THANK YOU to all the volunteers that helped throughout the evening. PTA is fully run by volunteers and we appreciate every one of you!
Membership Update
Our PTA was awarded the WSPTA Platinum Award in September! This award recognizes local PTAs, in good standing, for enrolling PTA members equaling at least 120% of their previous year’s total membership. We were one of three elementary schools in our region to accomplish this! Thank you to all our members for joining and supporting the Cottage Lake Elementary PTA!
Staff Appreciation Potluck
Thanks to the volunteers who brought in yummy food items for this past Friday’s potluck staff appreciation lunch. The soup and salad was a hit - especially on a cold and rainy day! There will be additional opportunities to participate in the future if you are interested.
