Hi Cornwall families,
First and foremost, I want to say a huge THANK YOU to all of the families who came to the Back To School Potluck. The food was yummy, the company was wonderful, and despite the down pour the spirits were high. I’d like to give a special THANK YOU to EJ Bartlett and Kristen & Greg Waggoner for organizing the event for FOCS.
I want to take a moment to introduce Friends of Cornwall School (FOCS) and let you know a little about who we are and what we do. I will do my best to keep it short and sweet as I know we all get bombarded with information!
FOCS is a parent/community group that focuses on supporting the students, teachers and staff at Cornwall School. We do this through events, financial support through fundraising, and volunteering our time.
EVENTS:
- FOCS MEETINGS are the 1st Thursday of every month from 8-9am in the school’s library. Meeting reminders and the agenda will be posted in Mrs. Raabe’s weekly email the Friday before every meeting.
- HARVEST FESTIVAL - Friday, Oct 13 in the afternoon. Parents run stations that focus on the harvest and fall crafts. We often have a hay ride, cider press, pumpkin decorating, and more! Details and sign-up will be distributed shortly.
- WINTER CRAFTS - Friday, Dec 15, all day. Parents run craft stations throughout the multi-purpose room.
- MOVIE NIGHT - Friday night in March (date TBD). Kids wear their jammies and bring their sleeping bags/blankets for a movie and snacks in the multi-purpose room
- TEACHER AND STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK - May 6-10. Notes of appreciation encouraged by all students, followed by a teacher/staff lunch
- MUDDY BUDDY CHALLENGE - Friday, May 31 in the afternoon. Parents run obstacle stations and kids work in teams to complete them. Also a fundraiser.
- ALL OUT DAY - June (date depends on last day of school). Kids, teachers and staff spend the day at a local State Park
FUNDRAISING: There are a few fundraising events coming up. We’ll have more as the year progresses -
