Welcome to College Park School. Robert M. Hutchins, educational philosopher, once noted, “The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives”. College Park staff wholeheartedly agrees with the idea of developing life-long learners and, as such, works diligently to create a safe, effective and nurturing environment in which each child can reach his or her full potential. Emphasis is placed on creating stimulating learning experiences that promote and encourage the acquisition of basic literary and mathematics skills in tandem with critical thinking and problem solving skills.
College Park Cougars participated in the Kids Run the OC Marathon. Several students trained every week adding the miles equilivant to 26.5 miles, a marathon. On May 1st the students completed their last mile.
Way to go Cougars!
A special thank you to the outstanding coaches Mrs. Smith and Mr. Wotta.
On Friday, April 1st students from all grade levels participated in the 6th grade sponsored Egg Drop. This event consisted of students creating an egg "vessel" to protect his/her egg during the drop. Excitement was abound and many students found that their egg survived, awarded by a certificate and cougar kudos, or became "scrambled eggs."
