Cottonwood's 4th-6th Grade Honor Choir participated in a music festival at West Valley High School last Tuesday where they were the youngest performers to take the stage. The packed auditorium of high school and middle school vocalists congratulated them and remarked that their singing was both magestic and angelic as they perfrmed "Remember Me" from Coco. Special thanks to our wonderful music teacher Mrs. McCampbell for preparing our vocalists for this tremendous opportunity . Amazing job singers! #TheHUSWay #CottonwoodCougars

Mark your calendars now for Cottonwood's second annual Turkey Trot on November 20th. You can spread the word and sponser link now so that your student can earn money for their classroom's upcoming events and activities. Money earned by 7th and 8th grade runners will be put into individual accounts to help them earn money to fund their 8th grade Science Camp trip to Catalina! We are also looking for Parent Volunteers to help us on that day to mark laps for students and to help fill up drink cups to keep our athletes hydrated. If you are available to help, please contact the office. #TheHUSDWay #CottonwoodCougars

It is College Kick-Off Month and Cottonwood's Kindergarteners did a lesson on Responsibility and how this character trait is connected to creating habits today that will serve them well in their future. The students also reviewed college pennants and noticed how they capture the highlights of a school and may include mascots, school colors, a school's name and other imagery related to the campus' offerings. Then each student created a personal pennant tha highlighted their interests and strengths. #TheHUSDWay #CottonwoodCougars #CKO2025
