Dear Parents,

Happy New Year!  I hope you had time during the holiday to relax and spend time with your family.

Let me begin by thanking everyone who participated in our Cougar Share Program.  This year we raised over $3700 to buy toys and clothing for over 56 children in our area.  This is an incredible outpouring of support for children that desperately needed it. 

Beginning this month, we will be starting our next community service project “Soup  for the Souper Bowl.”  We will be asking for donations of canned goods to support our local  food  pantries.  Year after year we have had tremendous support for this program and we hope this year is no different.

In December, we began our K-6 Read to Succeed Program under the direction of Mr. Rondesko and Ms. Della Penna.  The goal of this program is to encourage your child to read daily and develop a love for reading.  An information letter was sent out describing the program, but in summary, every child that reads for six hours from December to April 1^st will receive a free ticket to Six Flags Great Adventure.  We hope that you will support  this program and encourage your child to read!

                  Sincerely,           

                                                 John Capuano
