PTA News: Parents, PTA is needing parent help for some of the positions which have become open since the start of
the school year. Please help our PTA, the following are the positions which they need help with: Secretary,
Communications (Facebook and Newsletter Monthly), Yearbook, and Garden. If you are interested in helping with
any of these positions please email our PTA President, Danielle Hall at halldr2@nv.ccsd.net

Parents, please donate your child’s books: Does your child have books sitting around their room which aren’t used
anymore? We are looking for families to donate their children’s books which are no longer used to pass onto our Cox
families which do not have books in their homes for students to read. Books can be dropped off during “work packet
pick up” this Friday or anytime in our book box at the front doors of the school. Please, only children’s books, no
teen reading/novels or adult.

Family Meal Support: We just were notified that the LV culinary Academy in North Las Vegas is providing FREE
local emergency food assistance and is open to all Clark County residents (which is the ONLY criteria for receiving
support). Call 702-227-8842 to get a pick up day and time and an order confirmation number. Food pickup times are

allowed and will only need the ID of the person whom they are picking food up for. There is no limit on food
pickups, each order consists of 40 pounds of food, and you can order as often as you like. Seniors (60 and older) are
eligible for free food delivery. The address is The Las Vegas Culinary Academy, 710 W. Lake Mead Blvd., North

Did you know??? Our fabulous first grade teachers, Mrs. Brown and Ms. Melz took their class on a “virtual
fieldtrip” on Tuesday to the Gilcreek Orchard and conducted virtual learning lessons with their classes at the orchard.
The teachers did a great job and were having so much fun teaching virtually with their students people visiting the
orchard joined in to participate in their class too!
