Tomorrow: Celebrating Veterans and Military Families
DON'T FORGET: Tomorrow, November 8, is the school wide program celebrating veterans and military families. Meet us in the gym from 1:30-2:30 p.m. and then we invite our heroes to the cafeteria for cookies, pictures and punch with your family from 2:30-3:00.
We ask that students in 4th and 5th grade wear red, 2nd and 3rd grade wear white and students in Kindergarten and 1st grade wear blue as a sign of Cottonwood's patriotism.
CES Apparel Store is Open!

Camp Cottonwood: Thursday, November 14
This camp is for our families to learn more about Cottonwood. Make plans to learn more about how our building uses technology, Pathways, Flipgrid, safety, Redesign, Love and Logic or just network with other parents. A complete guide of sessions will be sent home soon.
Plan to join us on November 14th from 6-7:30 p.m.. Childcare will be provided by AHS National Honor Society members. We ask that children be of school-age only.
If you have something you would like to know more about, send Mrs. Rooks an email. We want to share what we know about Cottonwood and we want to make this an evening that will help you and your family.
