Thank you to our wonderful PTA and community for all of the creativity, generosity, and hard work that you have put into another successful school year.
Last week our incredible PTA turned Teacher Appreciation Week into the ultimate camping adventure. From Dutch Oven lunch, soda bars, filling treat orders, hot dog roasts, and awesome gifts to daily game challenges with wonderful prizes (special thanks to the individuals and local companies that donated prizes!!!) and an award assembly, every detail made our teachers feel loved and appreciated. Cook Elementary faculty and staff are grateful to be part of such an amazing and supportive community.

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our local businesses for the incredible support you show to teachers in our community. Your generosity, whether through donations, partnerships, or simple words of encouragement, makes a real difference in the lives of educators and the students they serve.
Teaching is a demanding and deeply important profession, and your willingness to give back helps lighten the load and reminds teachers that their work is valued beyond the classroom.
Thank you for standing with our teachers and celebrating "Teacher Appreciation Week" with us.
