T.S. Cooley has many students that shine here and away from campus. We showcase many of their accomplishments at school in our yearbook, shine boards, morning assemblies and awards days. After hearing about so many of their outside accomplishments we have decided to add a shine board to our weekly newsletters. We have many athletes, musicians, dancers, singers and other talented students who we would like to showcase. If you would like to share their accomplishments, please send a jpg photo and a short paragraph explaining the photo with details about the activity, length of time they have been participating, type of honor they are receiving or other information to barbara.lawrence@cpsb.org We will begin posting these next week.

Calling all parent photographers. Yearbook can use your help. If you have photos from field trips, school events or activities, please share here! Please submit no more than 5 pictures from an event/activity. Be aware that pictures are not guaranteed to be in the yearbook. Reminder: close pictures of groups of students are preferred with students facing forward.
