Volunteer Opportunities

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:

The CR Green Team has a designated Spirit Wear donation bin in the main office.  We collect any and all spirit wear to save for our annual Fall Spirit Swap.  Donate CR Spirit Wear items you no longer wear or fit in, for the next Bobcat to enjoy! 

Walk, Roll, Bus to School Week 

Walk, Roll, Bus to School Week is June 9-13th.  Make sure to utilize an earth-friendly mode of transportation (ride the bus, walk, scoot, bike, etc.) to be eligible for daily raffle prize drawings.  Why wait until June 9th, start being green today.  Fewer cars on the road, means a healthier Cougar Ridge community!
