This past Valentine’s Day, teachers and staff received cupcake love from the PTO Hospitality Committee, headed by Lena Graham.    The pictures below show the yummy treats.

The PTO would like to thank Lena Graham, and all of our volunteers and parents, for helping to make Cornelius Elementary a great school with strong parental involvement.  It’s these kinds of efforts that make our teacher’s feel appreciated and help strengthen our school community.  THANK YOU!

And, if you have pictures of anything your child’s class has done, or of any activities (from Father Daughter dance to anything at all……) please share them with us!  Email any photos to Lisa Lippiner.

Mrs. Davis’s Kindergarten class threw their teacher a surprise birthday party on her very special birthday, Valentine’s Day.  The below photos show the class next to the rock.

Have you ever wondered how to go about painting the rock for your special someone, whether for your  hard working student or the class teacher?  Simply visit the front desk at the school and ask Mrs. Wilcox for the book to reserve your days.  There is no charge for reserving the rock this year.   Go Cougars!

The January Principal’s Coffee centered around Bailey Middle School and what our fifth graders will encounter next year.  Bailey Middle School’s Principal Chad Thomas attended the coffee and invited all fifth grade families to several upcoming events so fifth graders and their families can get to know Bailey Middle.  Overall, parents attending the coffee were positively impressed with the outreach to incoming students.

View the attached Bailey Middle School Spirit Days 2013 for a listing of all upcoming dates and events.  This flyer was distributed at the Principal’s Coffee.

Did you miss the coffee?  Plan to attend PARENT INFORMATION NIGHT at Bailey Middle School, coming up on January 28 at 6:30pm!  A panel of teachers and staff will present important information about Bailey and field questions to help prepare your child for a smooth transition to middle school.
