Our School Turns 100 This Year!








Dear Parents, Committee Members, and Esteemed Friends,

Coconut Grove Elementary turns 100 this year! We are the oldest school in Dade County, but we are also one of the jewels in Miami for another reason - our French program. CGES has the task of providing a quality education in a stimulating but safe environment to nearly 500 children of all races and ethnicities in our community with limited federal, state and local funding. This year, after identifying the specific needs of our students, we have committed to two, major, long-term goals: 

 SmartBoards
 Complete update of the Media Center including a new computer lab

The Coconut Grove Elementary PTA will work in alignment with the Principal to achieve these goals through the Coconut Grove Elementary School Capital Campaign!

The Capital Campaign (which includes EdBucks, Book Fair, Holiday Shop, Mother/Son and Father/Daughter dances, and all Parking Fundraisers) will be the sole source of funding that will allow our school to operate in a manner meeting the urgent need to adequately reflect the technology and standards of the present and future world across curriculums.
We need to raise approximately $100,000 dollars via our Capital Campaign to upgrade academically in order for our students to be prepared to thrive as entrants to competitive secondary education and post-secondary education.

While this may seem like a steep number, it can be met if we strengthen our commitment to Coconut Grove Elementary. Together we can help make sure that our students have a safe, stimulating and academically superior school to turn for their education.
