Hello Cougar Parents,

    What an eventful October it has been! We had a very successful Carnival after a 3-year hiatus. Thank you to the parents and kids who participated, volunteered, and sponsored this event. It was a grand success and all the money raised will go back to our kids and school. We are so happy to do so much more for our kids this year. This month we have already started Hands On Science. It’s one of the most sought after PTA events and very much appreciated by both kids and parents. This year we have an overwhelming number of entries for Art Reflections, and we are excited to see the results. We will have the showcase during the first week of December, and the winning art will proceed to the district. Our room reps and grade level coordinators are busy planning the winter party for our kids in December. It will be filled with fun activities, treats, and crafts. I am sure the kids will have an amazing time.  Our teacher appreciation team is all set for the Thanksgiving Luncheon along with the pie raffle for our teachers and staff before the Thanksgiving break. We appreciate all of them and are so thankful for what they do for our kids each and every day. The first round of gifts for Secret Pal is already done, and everyone at school was super excited to receive gifts in November. 

    Thank you all again for your donations, dedication, and enthusiasm that make it possible for the PTA to achieve its goal of making every child’s potential a reality.

- Gayathri Nandakumar, PTA President

Our annual Mac-N-Cheese Drive supporting Shared Dreams will be the week of December 5th. So mark your calendars and set aside a few boxes to help feed children in the district over school holidays.  

Congratulations to Samuel Kwan, our VIPS of the month for September. Sam spent countless hours running our very successful Cougar Pride Drive. He improved flyers, translated them into multiple languages, kept track of class and grade participation, and got the word out via videos, WhatsApp groups and Facebook. His efforts have provided the PTA with the funds needed to roll out our programs for the rest of the year.

Just a reminder to make sure you have your district background check prior to volunteering with Commonwealth. We need you and your skills and are so appreciative of all of our volunteers. Volunteers are part of what makes Commonwealth such an amazing school!

Thank you to all who are reporting their off-campus volunteer hours!

Quick note: Feel free to estimate the total hours for the month and just submit one entry. This is how most people submit hours. Entering per day is fine as well. Please use the method that is easiest for you.

Please report your volunteer hours for October through the PTA website.
