Welcome to the Cooley PTC

February PTC Meeting

The next PTC meeting is on February 9 from 7-8 in the Library. We will discuss the Walk-a-Thon Fundraiser. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year. We would love all the help and support we can get. Please join us for an update on planning and find out where help is needed.

Walk-a-Thon HOT!

March 19, 2010

Cooley parents, we are in the process of planning the 2010 Cooley Walk a thon. Our biggest and much needed fundraiser of the year will be held on Friday, March 19th. An exciting perk for this year’s event is that every staff member and student will be receiving a T-shirt! If you would like to become a T-shirt sponsor, printed spots will be available for a donation of $100 or more. With your donation, you can have a company logo, family name or personal message displayed on each shirt. We also have a radio station lined up to come and cheer the students on among many other new and exciting details.

It will take many volunteers to make this years walk a thon a success and reach our goal of raising $20,000. If you have any contacts with businesses that might want to sponsor or donate small raffle items for this event, please contact Heather Hyatt at 916-508-1298 or Heatherhyatt4@gmail.com. Download the donation letter (.pdf) for additional details.
