Earlier this week, fourth graders at College Park kicked off the year with activities from our 'Character Strong' curriculum about building a class community. They brain-stormed ideas about what it means to be kind, strong, and well. They also colored 'team jerseys' to show they are all an important part of our fourth grade team.
College Park students and families arrived on the first day of school with smiles and excitement for the new school year. It was a beautiful September morning for commemorative photos and some friendly greetings from the staff. We're off to a great start, College Park!

A group of our fantastic College Park 3rd graders rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty before school let out for the summer to help beautify the school! Armed with a shovel, teamwork, and a lot of enthusiasm, they planted a variety of beautiful flowers and plants in the front of the school. Keep an eye out for the new pops of color next time you walk by—the future looks bright and beautiful thanks to these hard-working students!
Before school got out for the summer, some of College Park's youngest artists got the chance to grab paintbrushes and help bring the school mural to life. Working together on such a big project taught the first graders about collaboration, creativity, and taking pride in the school community. They may be small, but their contribution to the school’s spirit is absolutely huge. We are so proud of these little Picassos!

A message from the School's Out Committee:
If you've been watching the weather, you see that at the moment it looks like it'll be a rough time this afternoon and evening.
As an outdoor event, focused on having a safe summer, we're obviously prioritizing participant safety, and that means we had to make the sad decision to cancel the event tonight. We're brainstorming ways to bring the event back some time this summer, and hope we'll still be able to showcase all the fun, safe, and enriching opportunities our community has to offer!
For those of you willing to brave the weather, a few kids activities will still be available in the community room downstairs in the Greendale Library between 3:00-7:00PM.

College Park was buzzing with energy, teamwork, and a whole lot of school spirit for their annual Olympic Day! From thrilling relay races, to a bouncy house and fun field challenges, our students brought their absolute best effort and cheered each other on every step of the way. A massive shoutout to all our incredible athletes, staff, and volunteers who made this unforgettable day of friendly competition possible.
After weeks of hard work, goal-setting, and building each other up, the College Park Girls on the Run team crossed the finish line of their celebratory 5K run at American Family Field. Girls on the Run is about discovering inner strength, building confidence, and fostering teamwork. Watching these girls support one another and crush their goals in such an iconic venue was an absolute joy. A massive thank you to the dedicated coach volunteers and the families who cheered them on every step of the way. Congratulations, runners—you showed true heart, determination, and star power! Keep shining bright!
Important End-of-Year Reminder: Locker Clean-Out!
As we approach the end of the school year, we need your help ensuring a smooth transition into summer. Please remind your student(s) to completely clean out their locker/cubby and bring all personal belongings home.
What to bring home: Personal books, binders, gym clothes, winter coats, and any leftover supplies.
What to leave behind: Trash, recycling, and anything belonging strictly to the school.
We highly recommend sending your student to school with a large reusable tote bag or an extra backpack next week to help them haul everything home easily.
Any items left in lockers after Friday, June 12, will be donated or discarded so our custodial staff can deep-clean the hallways over the summer. Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our school clean!

Just a little reminder...
The torch is lit and we are ready! Tomorrow is our highly anticipated Olympic Day. Here is the schedule of events.
To ensure everyone has a safe and fun time, please remember:
1. Have students wear sneakers and socks-t here will be lots of running and moving around!
2. Make sure your student has a water bottle.
3. Rock the tie-dye! If your child still has their tie-dyed T-shirt at home, please have them wear it tomorrow to show their team spirit.
Planning to join us or volunteer? If you need a quick refresher on your timing, you can double-check your slot right here.
Thank you for all your support in making this day special for the kids. See you tomorrow!
Move over video games! There’s a new obsession taking over the College Park 4th graders, and it’s a retro classic. Armed with determination, spatial reasoning, and an impressive amount of patience, these nine- and ten-year-olds are officially taking on the Rubik’s Cube. What starts as a chaotic scramble of plastic and color quickly becomes a lesson in grit. Watch closely and you’ll see fingers flying, foreheads creasing, and students trading algorithms like recess secrets. Whether they are mastering the first layer or aiming for a sub-one-minute solve, these young cubers are proving that no puzzle is too complex when you refuse to back down. Twist by twist, turn by turn, they aren't just solving a cube, they’re building serious brainpower!
