College Park Elementary

Hello College Park Families,

We are just over two weeks away from our Holiday Market and we are looking forward to a wonderful experience for our students. In order to make the market a success we will need a variety of volunteers spread over a couple of days. Please feel free to snag as many open slots as you would like to. To sign up to volunteer, please click here. If all of them are filled and you wish to attend, please send a message to Jamie Peters (jahe85@gmail.com) and we will do our best to make it work. We have also attached the schedule of shopping as it might be easier to visualize in that format.

In the meantime, please take a moment to view our shop and make your wish lists.

Thank you to all volunteers, we couldn't do it without you!

Good Afternoon College Park Families,

Please consider being a part of Greendale supporting Greendale this season! The district’s School Social Work Team has created a District Wide Giving Project - Sign-Up Genius to support our own community with needs and gifts this season. We encourage our own families and staff who are able to give back and participate in the district wide “Giving Tree”. Items will be going to our own school district families. If you would like to participate, please sign up here. Drop off any items you purchase to any of the schools main office to be given to the School Social Worker by December 16th, 2025. If you have any questions or concerns on this Giving Project, please contact College Park's Social Worker, destiny.turner@greendaleschools.org.

Thank you for your support!

Thank You Greendale Fire Department!

Thanks to the Greendale Fire Department, these two lucky winners of the Home Safety Contest were invited for a ride in a fire truck and lunch at the fire house this week!

What a great College Park memory! Congrats to them both!

In honor of World Kindness Day, Mrs. Korpal and Mrs. Novakovich's first grade students brought a special surprise to the College Park secretaries. The surprise was a bouquet of handmade flowers that each said something they appreciated about Mrs. Morrell and Mrs. Schwarzkopf. Gratitude expressed included:

"Thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you for helping when my belly hurts."
"Thank you for helping with my tooth."
"Thank you for helping me find my way."

Many more sentiments of appreciation were included in the bouquet. College Park's first graders were spreading kindness in a meaningful way!

Share the Spirit Cheer Clinic & Fun Day

For the third consecutive year, College Park fourth graders coordinated a sock drive in October. Creatively named "Socktober," these Panthers create announcements and deliver them to the school. Students set a goal to collect, count newly donated socks over the lunch hour, add them to the total, and determine the number of socks left to reach their goal. The donations are delivered to those in need through St. Ben's Community Meal Program and Capuchin Community Services, in partnership with St. Mary Parish in Hales Corners. This year, the fourth graders collected a total of 1,067 pairs of socks! To date, our students and families have donated 3,160 pairs for people in need.

Thanks to all who supported this project!
