Our Fun Run, Walk & Roll Fundraiser kicks off 9/25 at Cottage Lake Elementary!
This is our annual commmunity fundraiser where students reach out to family members, friends, neighbors, and community members to raise $35,000 to support school favorites like Monster Mash, Toymaker, and Carnival, plus learning enrichment programs (Scholastic, field trips, art docents), staff appreciation, playground, garden club, and student grants.
🏆 Nightly Challenges start after kickoff—classes can win rewards and earn school-wide incentives!
🎉 Mark your calendars for the Big Event on 10/9 when students will run, walk, and roll to celebrate together. (More details coming soon!)

What Does the PTA Do?
What Does the PTA Do?
The Cottage Lake Elementary PTA is a 501(c)3 non-profit made up of parents, teachers, and community members working working to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities. While we’re an independent organization, we work closely alongside the school to support students, families, and staff.
The PTA helps fill funding gaps to make sure our kids have what they need—and goes beyond that to provide the ‘extras’ that make school special, from enrichment programs to community events.
