Hippo Nation...Better Together! October 2020
A Note from your CCE Principal
Dear CCES Families--
The leaves are changing in color and our weather is definitely feeling much cooler! We know that this year there have been many changes in the world of education, too! We look forward to continuing to see what our school year brings in terms of student learning and community continued support! Each of our families has been of key importance in ensuring a successful start to the school year and we would like to say how thankful we are that you are part of our CCE family!
The first few weeks of school reopening at CCE has proven to be a positive experience for all of our staff and students! The biggest welcomed change to our campus has definitely been the addition of all the student smiles and their presence in the building.
Cottonwood Creek Elementary has the BEST Staff, Students, and Families! We truly are "Better Together"! Our students are "Legendary" at Cottonwood Creek Elementary!
With Hippo Nation in Mind,
Linda Pachicano
Principal, Cottonwood Creek Elementary
