Ongoing Fundraisers:
Mabel’s Labels Fundraiser: Log on to MabelsLabels.com and click on the upper right-hand side where it says, “Support a Fundraiser”. Type in “Cook-Wissahickon”, shop, have it shipped to your house, and CW earns money!
Box Tops For Education: We’re still accepting the paper box tops, but these traditional box tops clippings are being phased out. Now, when you see a Box Top Symbol, you can download the App and upload your receipt! This money goes directly to the school to help support student activities!

Thanks for a Great 2019!
There were so many great events in the first part of this school year—the 5K, the 50th Anniversary, Fall Movie Night, Harvest Festival, Book Fair, Dine to Donates, the CW Staff Appreciation Lunch, and so much more! They were all successful because of volunteers and thanks to all who came out to support these events! Many of these events were also great fundraisers for Cook-Wiss! The 5K registrations and individual donations raised $1979.29 and our awesome fundraising committee raised another $3600 in support for the 5K bringing the total to $5579.29! Our book fair sales resulted almost $3280 in Scholastic Dollar Rewards and Profits. This was our most profitable book fair yet! Our October and December Dine to Donate events raised $287. Thanks to all involved!
We’re looking forward to many more fun events in 2020, like the music department’s upcoming Spaghetti Dinner on February 14 at 6 pm at CW (more details to come)!
We’re also lucky to have Ms. Kimmel’s husband come out for many CW events and take pictures! In case you’ve missed some of the albums we’ve shared on social media and in these newsletters over the last few months, be sure to check them out:
