Cory Caregivers,
Thank you so much to everyone joining us for our auction this evening! We are thrilled to have you here and cannot wait to have fun together as a community. Tonight is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate all of the amazing accomplishments our students have achieved throughout the year.
We are deeply grateful for the incredible support our community continues to provide. Your generosity and involvement make it possible for Cory to create meaningful opportunities and ensure that every child has access to the resources and support they need to thrive. We truly value the partnership we share with each and every one of you.
Thank you for being here tonight and for your ongoing commitment to our school community. Together, we are making a real difference in the lives of our students.
Calling all Family and Community Volunteers
We hope you'll join us Friday, May 8th on the black top at 8:15 to be recognized for your commitment to our school and students at our monthly First Friday Assembly!
A Cory alum (and Merrill 7th-grade student) is conducting a project on the cost of youth soccer in our community and access issues in youth sports. If you have a child playing club soccer, please consider completing this anonymous 5-minute survey. Thank you in advance for your participation.

The Cory spring dance is right around the corner, Thursday April 30th. The committee has shared a few items they’re looking for help with. If you are able to sign up and donate it would be greatly appreciated!

Parent / Caretaker Dashboard:
Please share this link with your families so they can view and order their student’s photos:
https://thebloombeehive.com/cory
On this dashboard, families can:
• View and order their spring individual photos and the 5th grade group
• Contact us directly for any questions or support
Class photos are available for families to view and order, but they're listed under Fall 2025 for them. So, they'll need to view/order them from that separate gallery. Both are available on the picture day dashboard https://thebloombeehive.com/cory.

Heelys are not allowed at school! They are not safe at school.
Please do not pull into the parking lot and drop off your child by the fence. You must pull into a parking lot space to drop off your child.
Please pack healthy snacks for the students to eat during the snack break.
On P.E. days, please make sure your child is wearing shoes appropriate for P.E.
Please do not park in the handicap spots unless you have a handicap pass.
Please do not use the small parking lot for pick up or drop off of any students.
Please do not park in the Reserved family spots at any time even after school lets out as families can be picking up students later and have purchased those spots for anytime!
Please do not stop in the middle of the parking lot to drop off kids.
When picking up your student early please give the office a little bit of time to call your student down to leave. We do not pull students before you get here. Please make sure to pick up students by 2:45
Remember to make sure that students come prepared for the weather as we will go outside unless it is too cold or too wet
