Cougar Community Connection
A Newsletter From Your Principal, Shannon McPherson
A Letter From Shannon 3/10/23
Spring Break is here and we couldn't be heading out on a higher note following the INCREDIBLE show of CRUN talent at last night's Virtual Talent Show! We are so proud of our staff and students for being brave and submitting videos of their talents and passions to entertain our Cougar Run Family at this year's fabulous event! A HUGE shout out to Lindsay Barlow, the producer of the show and Nate Biggs for his creativity, time and efforts as the "idea guy" for the fun advertisements. We had a super fun time putting this thing together with Lindsay and Nate guiding us. We hope that you all have a restful, fun and safe Spring Break and we look forward to seeing you all back at CRUN on Monday, March 20th.
