Tomorrow is Beach Day at College Park!
Ditch the winter blues and get ready for some fun in the sun! Tomorrow, students and staff are encouraged to dress in their favorite beach-themed attire—think Hawaiian shirts, sun hats, and bright colors. (Just remember to keep outfits school-appropriate and leave the swimsuits at home!) Let’s make it a great day!
The 4th Grade School Store is Opening Tuesday, May 26!
The 4th graders of the 2025-2026 school year will carry on a tradition many students look forward to: The School Store! The 4th Grade Dollar Store, organized and run by fourth graders, will be open from Tuesday, May 26, 2026 - Monday, June 1, 2026. Students will be allowed to shop from 8:45-9:00 each day after they check in with their teachers for attendance. In years past, and especially for younger students, it has been helpful to send an envelope containing a list of desired items and the money required for purchase of those items. Here is a listing of all items that will be sold.
All proceeds from the school store travel with the fourth grade class to support their 5th grade completion celebration along with other activities they may pursue. Your patronage and support is appreciated!
