Hello Cougar Parents,
We are heading towards our last 9 weeks, and CWE PTA is excited about the various events we have planned for our kids in the upcoming months. With all of your donations, we have been able to get the kids new books for the library, all the field trips, assemblies, and many more. Every month we have Harvest of the Month sponsored by the PTA and headed by the Wellness chair. It is an opportunity to expose and educate our kids to new fruits and vegetables grown locally as well as to support our local farmers. This coming 9 weeks we have Art a la carte, Hands-On-Science, Assemblies, and Field day to look forward to. We know the next few months will be busy, but we are all pumped up to complete this school year with even more vigor.
We are very appreciative of all the volunteering hours put in by our parents. Our teachers, staff, and kids are reaping the benefits of such supportive parents. We are extremely proud to announce that Commonwealth Elementary was ranked #1 for elementary campuses in the Houston region and #2 in the State of Texas on the Children’s At Risk's 2022 listing of schools.
We had an amazing Open House and World Culture Day! Thank you to all the parents who stepped up and volunteered, from instructing the in-class sessions and helping put up all the kids' work throughout the school, to training and preparing the kids for the various performances. We had a total of 28 performances celebrating different cultures all around the world - Latin America, China, Philippines, India, Spain, Nigeria, Pakistan and more. It was a colorful, energetic, and fun evening! Susana Luehrs and Yulin Xuan excelled in bringing out the true meaning of Unity in Diversity. We are so proud to be part of a school that embraces and treasures our beautiful mix of cultures and traditions.
Last but not least, get ready for our Auction! It will go online during the last week of March. Some of the newly added items include reserved seating for 5th grade awards, reserved parking for 5th grade awards. We also have popular items like marquee, name the cafeteria, name the music room, and be a principal for a day, just to name a few. The Auction will be live for only a week, so don't miss it!
Let’s have a great last 9 weeks!!!
