Cottonwood School - TK - 8th Grade

At today's Fall Themed Saturday School, our scholars made suncatcher turkeys, gratitude pumpkins, Indian Corn, and they transformed donuts, Fruit Loops and toothpicks into delectable edible turkeys.

It is Red Ribbon Week and Cottonwood's Kindergarteners did a lesson on ways to keep themselves healthy and strong. This year's Red Ribbon Week Theme is Life is a Puzzle - Solve it Drug Free and our scholars each drew four things that they can do to stay healthy and strong. They focused on eating healthy, drinking water, exercising, listening to music, spending time in nature, reading, learning, listening, and staying positive. They are certainly on the right track! #TheHUSDWay #CottonwoodCougars #RedRibbonWeek2025
