Congrats to Our Robotics Teams
Congratulation to our the Coosa Robotics Team who gave a great showing at the Storm the Citadel Competition this past weekend in Charleston. We had two teams place: "The Sparks" won 1st place and "Band of Bears" won 2nd place. We are so proud of the dedication and perseverance of all the members of Coosa Robotics Team.
Read-A-Thon
Coosa hosts two major yearly fundraisers and Read-a-thon is one of those. Read-a-thons get your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more.
Our Read-a-thon starts Monday February 26, 2024 and runs through Friday, March 8, 2024.
Instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page will be sent home this week. This is where you will be able to view and record progress.
We've chosen Read-a-thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read to help in the development of stronger reading skills, and will help raise funds for our school’s Literacy Program!
We hope EVERYONE participates.
Career Day
Last year we had more than 25 careers represented at our event. In the past we have had so many amazing careers represented such as medical personnel, massage therapists, journalists, electricians, bakers, beauticians, personal trainers, etc. To make this even more interactive, we would love to have multiple vehicles, to include military vehicles (are any of our servicemembers able to make this a reality for our students?), emergency vehicles, food trucks, police cars, heavy machinery, etc.
If you are interested in participating please RSVP or reach out to Mrs. Bossak with any questions at nicole.bossak@beaufort.k12.sc.us or 843-322-6123.
