“I Belong!” is this year’s Reflections Theme!  Reflections is a National PTA arts competition that provides an opportunity for students to use their creative talents. If your child loves art or has a creative flair, then they will enjoy entering artwork in this year's Reflections Program. Reflection student entries are due at the Cougar Ridge Front Office by Tuesday, November 3, 2025.  For more detailed information, click here.

More information about the student entry form will be shared in next week’s blast.

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.
