Cottonwood's 3rd Graders opened the doors on their Living Museum. Each scholar researched a historical person and created a backdrop of information and posed waiting for museum guests to press their buttons to come to life and share key facts about their lives. It was a great day and all of the museum patrons learned a lot. Great job! #TheHUSDWay #CottonwoodCougars

Cottonwood's 2nd Graders hosted their 2nd Annual Class Market. Students worked together to determine the product or products they wanted to sell. Next, they had to determine a price point to maximize their profits and create appealing marketing to draw customers in. Everyone did an awesome job and staff and other students enjoyed shopping until their Cougar Cash ran out. Until next year! #TheHUSDWay #CottonwoodCougars
