The Copeland PTO Newsletter
President's Corner by Cree Sanford
It is hard to believe how quickly this school year is passing! In the next newsletter, we will be publishing a list of open chairman positions for the 2017-2018 school year. Where do your interests lie? Think about it! If you already have something in mind, please let me know by email or phone. Copeland is very proud of their volunteers and all that they do! We are such a successful school because of our wonderful volunteers like YOU!!!
Our Copeland Colts are as busy as ever. The first graders will have a non-fiction book fair where they will showcase their creative non-fiction book reports, on February 28th. The district will also be hosting its annual fundraising vendor fair on the same date. In early March, our kinder cuties will get to enjoy an SRC demo of guinea pigs and our 3rd and 5th graders will visit Nature Trails. Our Colts are learning and leading and it is great to see!!
Thanks again for all that you do to make our school so fabulous! As always feel free to contact me anytime at cree410@yahoo.com

Kroger Rewards Program
Cultural Arts by Karen Thomas
The 3rd graders have been enjoying their garden projects this school year as well as tasting the various vegetables they have been growing. All of this would not be possible without the donations we have received this year.
We would like to take this time to give a big THANK YOU to the following company and people who have generously donated item’s this year for the kid’s garden activities.
Bonnie Plants donated cabbage, tomato’s, and herbs
Lena Salih donated 100 bricks for the flower beds
Natalie Dupre donated 8 bales of hay for the kid’s upcoming garden project
We are truly grateful for your generosity to help the Copeland Garden be a success. I also want to give another big THANK YOU to Tracy Reynolds and Emily Bargas for all their hard work on taking care of the garden from watering it when needed, pulling weeds, and attending ever session of garden day to help the kids with the various activities. You name it they do it for the garden and without these two lovely ladies our garden would not thrive the way it does.
Thanks for all your hard work.

Super Second Graders by Molli Murray
The kids had a great time on the field trip to Minute Maid Park!! It was extremely informative, and I think the kids and parents leaned a lot and got to see places most fans don’t get to experience. Thank you to all the parent volunteers who were able to come on the trip and chaperone. We were only able to allow one chaperone per class, so the teachers and chaperones were kept busy with all their charges!
Also, kindergarten and 2nd grade parents donated items so that the teachers could enjoy a wonderful Valentine’s treat! Although it corresponded with tornado warnings (Yikes!), our wonderful hospitality committee was able to pull it off. Thank you to everyone who donated.
Phenomenal 5th Graders
Hi everyone! Just a couple reminders for our 5th graders –
Nature Trails is on March 9th and 10th-– check with your homeroom coordinator or Selina Sauceda [Selina.sauceda@gmail.com] for more information or if you’re interested in volunteering.
May is going to be a super busy month for our 5th graders with field day, fun day, end-of year parties, and pool party. Keep watching for dates and times as we get closer. Thanks!
