We are greatly appreciative of your interest in furthering the needs of the students at Coconut Grove Elementary School.
 Please find a list of items CGE PTA has paid for to date. Our media center is on the top of our priorities to update; electrical update, new tables and chairs, as well as a near overhaul of the book collection as students and parents have noticed many
of the books are vastly outdated. Our kids need your HELP!
