Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers Needed for STEAM Fair! – Our STEAM Fair (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Music) is coming up at the end of April, and we’re looking for a team of volunteers to help plan and execute this exciting event! If you’re interested in helping bring hands-on STEAM learning to our students, please contact Emad to get involved.
Interested in helping our Cougar Ridge PTSA? – There are many events you can help with such as Book Fair, Spelling Bee, Chess Club, STEAM Club, Science Fair, Art Fair, Reflections, Bingo, Gift-a-Book, and Staff Appreciation. Support roles are available such as webmaster and liaison to Issaquah Schools Foundation. A wonderful way to meet other parents is to help with Meet the Teacher and Kindergarten Playground Night. If you have a lot of time, please consider the Fundraising Committee. If you have a little time, we need help with the school's emergency supplies. Every role is important and any time you can give us is incredibly valuable and appreciated! Please reach out to Kim Beaudoin if you would like more info about any of these positions. We also welcome new ideas on how to support our wonderful community of teachers and students.

Green Team Recycling Tips for April:
With the buzz of spring cleaning, did you know that many people would love to put your used art supplies to good use?! It goes along with the saying "one person's trash is another person's treasure!" To celebrate Earth Week later this month, April 21- 25, the Green Team will host an Art Supply Collection. We'll accept most art supplies (with the main exception being paper). Start going through your closets now...have old canvas art your kiddos' created that has run its course? Donate those for someone else to paint on top of. Or partially used paint bottles from said paint project, we'll take those too. Look for beads, sequins, brushes, scissors, stamps, hole punches, yarn, embroidery materials, any trinkets some creative mind might put to artistic use, anything creative, please donate. We are partnering with Seattle ReCreateive. Learn more about accepted donations here. We will collect them in marked bins throughout the school the week of April 21-25.
If you want to receive a school directory, you must be a PTSA member. We welcome your support - thank you!
