Congratulations to Audrey T. for her winning submission of a new and original logo for the Coe PTA!

The second place winner is Helena D.

Third place winners (tie) are Evelyn P. and Jennifer C. For a detailed list of the winners check out the bulletin board in the atrium!

The judging panel — made up of Coe educators, parents/PTA reps and student council members — thanks all the winners and the 51 other logo submission participants from each grade. We truly have an awesome talented group of students!

Go Cougars!

note: we will keep you posted on when the new logo will be updated in PTA materials and the website.

Did you know that the PTA has over 30 volunteer leads? One of them is our Graphic Design Lead for 2019-2020, Penny Eversole of Pinkerton Design.

This year, Penny designed the Coe Elementary logo (seen on the school’s and this website, plus all the awesome Coe Wear)  as well as the creative for the Fall Fund Drive literature. You will also see her work pop up for the 2020 “DisCoe Fever” Spring Gala and Online Auction. Thank you, Penny!

If you have a desire to help out with graphic design, please email us. We would love to have you on our team.

Journey with an Afghan School is excited to announce its one-day only Coin Drive on Tuesday December 10!

The money raised will help fund technology needs, including laptops and projectors at our sister school.

Look for a brown paper sack in your child’s folder this week with more info. Your spare change will make a difference!

We are looking for a few volunteers to help collect and load the coin jars from 7:30-9:15 a.m. on Tuesday. If you are available to come early or stick around after drop-off that morning, please contact Jess Calhoun or Lissa Capps.

Let’s fill the shelves of the Queen Anne Food Bank and help feed our neighbors this winter. How? Simply bring one or more non-perishable food items to Coe starting Dec 9 through Dec 18.

What non-perishable food items are needed?

• canned tuna, soups, fruits and vegetables
• peanut butter
• boxed or sealed items like cereal, oatmeal, nuts, dried fruit

Please reach out to Lori Wilken if you have any questions or would like to help sort food during the week to keep our atrium organized and to make pick up of the food easier.

This event is sponsored by Coe Cares. Coe Cares is a PTA committee that helps meet the needs of families who might be in need. We provide school supplies, coats, shoes and more to families in need.
