Cougar Community Connection
A Newsletter From Your Principal, Shannon McPherson
A Letter From Shannon 12/21/2022
We had fun ending 2022 together this week and have so much to be proud of as a CRUN Family. Our students and teachers have worked hard to learn and grow and become even better versions of themselves than they were in August. Our kids have practiced their reading, writing, math, social studies and science, but they have also worked on their ROCKS character attributes, getting smarter and wiser as a whole human. Our teachers have worked tirelessly to support and guide each and every one of their students on their pathway to greatness. Parents, you are the backbone of this village we have, this family we cherish here at Cougar Run. We appreciate your support, your love and your partnership. We cannot do this alone so we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for navigating each and every day with us. We wish you a very Merry Holiday season and a Happy and Healthy New Year. We look forward to kicking of 2023 with you when our students return on Tuesday, January 10, 2023.

We want to thank everyone for their support at Holiday Shop.
The ROCKS Council kids did an amazing job and the parent volunteers were a big help.
We raised $933 for Cougar Run families in need this season with our Holiday Shop.
The upcoming events from last week's update are still valid:
- Parry's Pizza Restaurant Night is the Tuesday we get back from break, 1/10/23
- We will be accepting videos for our 3rd Annual Virtual Talent Show in January! Start thinking about which amazing talent you would like to share with the Cougar Run Community. You are a star! We can't wait to watch you shine.
