Our school's PTA serves to support students, teachers, staff and families of the Hale Cook community. The Hale Cook PTA started in the 2015-2016 school year, and actively organizes school events, supports classroom teachers and LINC program/staff, helps our principal, works with the community and KCPS.

Hale Cook PTA Traditions and Accomplishments

Hale Cook is a wonderful place to get involved! In the past few years, thanks to parent/teacher/community support, PTA has hosted events for family engagement as well as fundraising. These include:

• Fall and Spring picnics for families to meet, eat and play
• Improvements to the school playground, including sunshades and swings
• The first-ever Picnic in January Trivia Night raised $8,700 to be used for a school-wide Spanish-language program
• Together with other southside public elementary schools, we march in the Annual Brookside St. Patrick's Day Warm-Up Parade
• Math and Reading Night in Spring 2019 thanks to support from Community Sponsor First Federal Bank
• Dine-out days, which help fund PTA programs while giving families a chance to gather and eat
• Hale Cook PTA provides a free t-shirt to each incoming Kindergarten student
• A pre-worn uniform sale each year
