News & Announcements

This Winter and Spring will be very exciting and entertaining for students at Cottage Hill. The PTC has arranged for a handful of special guests to perform on campus for the pleasure of the staff and students. First up is Izzi Tooinsky. He performed storytelling and comedy along with juggling and other entertaining sights for preschool through second grades on Wednesday this week. He will return tomorrow to delight the third through fifth grades. Ask your student(s) about Izzi's funny stories and talents, he is truly mezmerizing to watch. Coming to perform in February is Joe Gandelman, ventriloquist.These assemblies are paid for by money fundraised through Jog-A-Thon and Mistletoe Mall, thank you for your contribution!

Coming back to Cottage Hill next week on Monday, February 3rd, is SAMI KADER!  Sami brings us the Sami's Circuit program.  Monday he will do two assemblies for the students (and parents if you'd like to come!) at 8:30 and 9:30.  Sami speaks to the students about the power of self-respect, eating healthy, and exercising.  "Who you are is amazing right now!"



Sami will be back on on Thursday, February 6th for Sami's Circuit Day!  This is a wild day of bright lights and loud music and EXERCISE that the kids won't forget!  Be sure to ask them about it, because...



Sami returns on February 19th for SAMI'S FAMILY NIGHT from 6-7 pm.  This is a free event for your whole family to enjoy!



Sami is brought to you by our CH PTC because we loved him so much last year.  Don't miss this amazing event!  "You got this!"

Monday is a holiday, honoring Dr. Martin Luther King.  There is no school for students.  Have a PEACEFUL three day weekend!

This school year has presented several opportunities to exercise flexibility with scheduling and staff. The PTC is no exception. As we bid a fond farewell to Mrs. Mitchell of WonderGround Science for the remainder of the school year (she has embarked on the final stage of her multiple-subject credential requirements), we excitedly anticipate the beginning of a new program at Cottage Hill School. The PTC is proud to introduce Megan Schumacher as the “Rhythm, Movement, Performing Arts Instructor.” Megan is a highly qualified specialist who will instruct and delight our students and staff with a variety of song, dance, and movement lessons at every grade level. Once a month your student(s) will participate in a variety of activities designed to engage, encourage and educate their physical and sensory selves. Program begins next week! One of the most fortunate aspects of Megan’s presence on campus is that she is very familiar with many of the students, four of which are her own. The PTC welcomes Mrs. Schumacher and wishes her joy and satisfaction in working with the kids for the remainder of the school year!

Cottage Hill School is looking for a person, or more than one person, interested in being a noon duty aide!  This position is from 11:35-12:20 each day (45 minutes).  If you volunteer in the classroom on a regular day each week and would be interested in staying through the lunch period, this could be the perfect job for you! The pay is $13.00/hour.  I would be happy to hire one person all five days per week, or a different person each day of the week.  Does this sound interesting to you?  Call Mrs. Montero!

This Friday, December 20th, is a MINIMUM DAY for students.  School is dismissed at 12:00.  There WILL BE after school rec on Friday.
