Please remember to mark your calendars for Cottonwood's Open House on Thursday, March 10th. This exciting night will begin at 5:00, and it is mandatory that your child arrive at that time to participate in the Through the Decades "gallery". This will occur for about 20 minutes, and then we encourage you and your child to focus on other projects for the remainder of the evening.
