Koala News - Sept. 6th

Who Loves to Shop?
Consider signing up for these reward programs below
to help raise money for your student(s) classrooms.
AmazonSmile  is a website operated by  Amazon  with the same products, prices, and shopping features as  Amazon .com. The difference is that when you shop on  AmazonSmile , the  Amazon Smile  Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the charitable organization of your choice.

If you prefer to shop on your iphone you can't use Amazon Smile with Amazon App on the iphone. However, the good news is that you can set up a shortcut to the Amazon Smile website which gives a near identical experience to the app. Here's how to do it:
  1. Go to www.smile.amazon.com in your phone's browser and log into your account.
  2. In the phone's menu bar at the top right, select "Add to home screen."
  3. A 'app' for Amazon Smile will appear on your home screen.
If you shop at Harding's, you can sign up in-store or go online and sign up, so that a percentage of every dollar you spend goes towards the organization of your choice.

You can choose Cooper Elementary as your organization!

Funds raised help supply teachers and classrooms with supplies needed throughout the school year.

Safety in Our Classrooms - Your Help is Needed
In each room of Cooper, we have safety buckets filled with supplies needed in the event of a lock down that may last hours. Snacks are one of these items.

We are looking for donations of peanut free snacks (i.e. Pretzels, Goldfish, Wheat Thins, plain Triscuits) that can go in each bucket. We have 300 students, so we are happy to accept whatever amount you can provide. Donated snacks can be dropped off at the front office.
‌
Cooper Parents Club is looking for volunteers to help out chairing and planning events. It's a great way to be involved in your student's school!
