Are you around this week? We are looking for volunteers to start painting the Cornell mural. DM me if you are available/interested. It looks like we will be painting all day Wednesday (February 23), possibly a few other days.
The Cornell Book Fair is coming! Join us this Saturday November 27 from 11-2 at Cornell to paint Cornell's favorite book characters and make this a festive event for our kids! (No artistic talent required, come when you can, leave when you need to. Kids welcome!)
We are (almost) out of our gourds! The Pumpkin Patch is down to a only a few pumpkins and we have sold over $24,000 this year!! This exceeds last year's record by over $10,000. All of the proceeds benefit our school. A THANK YOU and shout out to all who purchased pumpkins!! We are beyond grateful to Westbrae for their incredible generosity. If you are in the neighborhood, make sure to stop in and thank them for their support.

On behalf of the entire PTA board, I would like to welcome your family to Cornell for the 2019-20 school year. We join you in the anticipation of an exciting and productive year. This is my second year as the PTA president, and I am looking forward to serving you and your family well. I am excited to share with you the goals and mission of this year’s PTA.
First and foremost, we hope to encourage and foster a strong Cornell community. We also hope to increase active PTA memberships, support installation of overhead projector in each classroom, provide transportation for some field trips in each grade, provide funds left by the budget cut gaps, and continue to work on the greening of the Cornell campus. The PTA would also like to support some old favorites such as grade level grants, individual teacher grants, continue with monthly scholastic newsletter for students. We will continue to support the Albany Enrichment fun in a new more sustainable agreement between the 3 elementary schools, which provides music, dance, and art for all AUSD students equally.
This year we hope to continue our ongoing efforts to engage the Cornell community in fun family friendly activities and fundraisers. For example, all movie nights will be free for PTA members and their families. We will continue with our Bi-monthly PTA newsletter on this site and continue with our second annual Cornell parents night auction. Both were a great success last year!
Our vision this year is to continue to bring cohesion, community, and fun for all Cornell families. This year‘s PTA board is full of new ideas, enthusiasm, and commitment (we are still short on board staff.) We are proud to report that we have already begun working with Ms. Duncan and the school staff over the summer to provide a smooth start to the new school year with a festive meet and greet and renewed commitment to serve our students and their families.
Whether you’ve first year as a Cornell parent or are a committed Cornell parent, let this be the year you join me, the board, the entire Coyote Community as we embark on a quest to ensure Cornell reaches its greatest potential. “It takes a village” to bring about all the wonderful things that will continue to happen here at Cornell, so I hope to see you all at our PTA meetings. We provide a family style dinner, and a brief but informative talk about the plans for school year.
