Band and Orchestra Christmas Concert
On December 11, our band and orchestra performed their Christmas Concert. Thanks to Mr. Thompson, Dr. Campbell and all the teachers and parents who together encourage the kids of Cornwall to pursue their musical goals. Because of all of you, we had another great Christmas Concert.
5th Grade Cornwall Olympics has begun!
The opening of the 5th grade Olympics was on Dec. 15! The students are competing as 4 countries: Greece (blue), Portugal (green), Italy (red) and Japan (black) and in a variety of events such as a relay race, gymnastics, dodgeball, flag football, basketball and many other sports. Here's some photos and video of our competitors and the event.
Check out the video of the opening ceremonies and a dodgeball game below. The opening ceremonies started in the dark and lights turned on when the torch was lit. You can view more of the dodgeball games on our youtube page: youtube.com/@cornwallelementarypto

Join the PTO to help provide learning enrichment opportunities for our kids
The PTO is a large part of what makes Cornwall Elementary the amazing place it is for our kids. We have awesome teachers and awesome administrators but the PTO is the backbone that runs and supports all the special events like the Christmas Shop, Cornwall Reads, Movie Nights, Skating Parties, the Cornwalk Fun Run and Festival and the Garden. We fund field trips and special treats like the ventriloquist show before Christmas last year and the dunking booth at the Cornwalk. Your support of our fundraisers is always amazing BUT it's the parent volunteers that make ALL these things happen. Come out and join us in making these great things happen for all the students at Cornwall. They can't happen without you!
