In a first-grade classroom, math isn’t just about numbers; it’s a social event. When six and seven-year-olds team up to solve problems, you see a beautiful mix of logic and negotiation.
Whether they are hunched over a pile of colorful counting bears or passing a tablet back and forth to solve a logic puzzle, these "math huddles" are where the real magic happens. Watching them collaborate reminds us that math is a team sport. They aren't just learning $2 + 2 = $4, they’re learning how to listen, pivot, and celebrate a breakthrough together.
TONIGHT is College Park PTO's Annual Dinner & Raffle @ GHS from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. You Don't Want to Miss This One!!
Come and join us for an evening of community and celebration! Our College Park PTO Annual Dinner & Raffle is tonight and we’d love to see you there. Come for the delicious food, stay for the great company, and don't forget to grab your raffle tickets for a chance to win some incredible prizes. Every ticket sold helps support our mission for the coming year. Let’s make this our best turnout yet!
IMPORTANT: There is regional basketball game going on at 7:00pm at Greendale High School also tonight. This is a big event for GHS so we have been asked to inform our parents/guardians/guests to refrain from parking in the East/Athletic parking lot that night.
On this map, you will find highlighted areas which are available for parking at our event. We have been asked to park in the back lot first and use the front lot for overflow if needed. Thank you for your cooperation in parking in these respective areas.
We are looking forward to seeing all our families tonight at our BIGGEST fundraiser of the year!
Mystery Reader Visits College Park During "Read Across College Park Week"!
As part of our Read Across America Week celebrations, College Park was thrilled to have a Mystery Reader come to read to our classes on Tuesday.
Was it be a local hero? A talented parent? Or perhaps a familiar face from the front office in a very clever disguise? We had a contest for the students to guess and Dawson in 4th grade won the prize! It was our PE Teacher, Mr. Hohensee dressed up as the Greendale Panther! This was a great way to encourage all of our students to read! #ReadAcrossAmerica #MysteryReader #LoveOfReading

Hello College Park families!
As you’ve likely heard, our annual College Park PTO Raffle is taking place this Friday, March 6th, from 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm in the MPR at Greendale High School. We hope you will be able to join us to participate in the festivities!
We understand not all students will be able to come to the Raffle on Friday evening. To give every student an opportunity to win a raffle prize, we will be offering a special “pre-shop” of the grade-level raffle baskets, other fun baskets, and the exciting teacher and staff “experiences” on Thursday, March 5th, during school hours. Teachers will provide time for students to browse the raffle baskets and enter their tickets.
All students will receive 3 tickets at no charge. These tickets can be used either during the pre-shop or the night of the Raffle. If you would like, you may send money into class with your student to purchase additional raffle tickets.
Please send either cash in exact amount (change not available) or a check made out to College Park PTO. Prior to the shopping day, you will need to fill these out at home and return them. Students are only filling out the 3 free in-class. (Student first name, last name, grade level, and teachers name).
Raffle ticket prices are as follows:
$1 for 1 ticket
$5 for 6 tickets
$10 for 15 tickets
$20 for 30 tickets
Tickets will be available for purchase starting today.
If you have any questions regarding raffle ticket sales for students this week, please reach out to the raffle organizers Melissa Rios, Nancy Bontempo, or Ashley Becker at CPPTO@greendaleschools.org.
NOTE: For the night of the raffle, we are bringing back the system where you will not need address labels to label your raffle tickets. You will fill out your information once on a spreadsheet when purchasing your tickets, and you will be assigned a number that you will put on your tickets. NO CRAMPED HANDS, NO PREP TIME, or WASTED ADDRESS LABELS! More time spent having fun!
Thank you!

Read Across College Park- Let’s LEVEL UP Our Reading the Week of March 2-6th, 2026
Hello College Park Community! We have some exciting news for the week of March 2-6th to engage students in all kinds of fun reading activities. The week is outlined below.
Monday: Level-Up Your Reading!!
Wear your favorite Mario costume/attire and set a book-reading goal for the week.
Tuesday: Wild Robot Movie and Family Event
Students will watch the Wild Robot in school that day. Popcorn will be provided! Families can attend the Wild Robot family event after school. More information to come on the family event.
Wednesday: Masked Reader!!
The whole school will meet in the gym at 1:30 P.M. for a quick read-aloud by a costumed reader. Throughout the day, students will have a chance to drop their guess of the masked reader into a bucket in the office. A name will be drawn at the end of the day for a $15 gift card to either Half-Price Books or Barnes and Noble.
Thursday: College Park Staff Read-A-Loud Stations
We will plan a time during that day when students will be able to move around to different places in the upper area of the building to hear a chosen book. We will provide a list of who is reading what and where. Then, students will self-select where they want to go and what they would like to listen to.
Friday: Pajama Day and Read-In
Students can wear PJs, bring a favorite book, a small flashlight, and a blanket. Classroom teachers will decide when they would like to set aside 20-30 minutes for students to quietly read.
