Cory Caregivers,
We had a wonderful week at Cory! Merrill students came over and shared books they wrote and illustrated with our students. It was such a special experience for everyone involved.
Our student-run Coffee Cart was also up and running again this week, providing students with meaningful real-world experience while practicing important skills they are learning at school.
Please remember that the last day of school, May 29th, will be a half day. Students will be dismissed at 12:15 p.m.
At Cory, we work to help prevent summer slide. So we are sending home summer packets for students to complete over the summer. Each student will bring one home in their Friday Folder. If you lose it over the summer or it doesn't come home, you can access everything you need at this link. It will also be posted on Dojo. Thank you for helping us keep academics fresh all summer long. We also want to thank the PTA for providing incentives: one student who finishes their packet will receive a Kindle, and ten others will be awarded $25 gift cards to local businesses. Together we are helping our students succeed.
Have a wonderful long weekend!
Hello Cory Community, This packet is meant to serve as a resource for Cory families over the summer break. It includes programming information and resources related to summer camps and activities, mental health and crisis related supports within the community, as well as food programming and resources. Have a safe and enjoyable summer! 💜Ms. Wilberg
