Cowan Staff Special Pals

If you would like to do something personal to appreciate the hardworking staff at Cowan Elementary, please explore the favorites documents linked below to learn more about the preferences and favorites of individual staff members.

 

We ask that you consider celebrating the "special pal" staff member paired with your child's teacher. Favorites for custodial, cafeteria, administrative, special education, essential areas and teaching assistant staff are also linked below. 

 

Please note that teachers will not be asked to deliver gifts to special pals.

Please deliver to the front office for those items to be picked up, or have student deliver them directly.

 

Teachers are not responsible for organizing special pals. If you'd like to coordinate something, contact your room parent(s)!
