Parent Pride
The Parent Pride, a parent volunteer group, is an integral part of the Cottonwood community. Each year this group of volunteers help to organize and fund raise for the events and activities that take place at Cottonwood. There are no membership dues so we depend on donations or participation of our fund-raising events. We hope that you will consider volunteering your time to support one of these events. Please remember to check our weekly newsletter for other volunteer opportunities. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Gina Rudloff at 402-715-1390 or gkrudloff@mpsomaha.org. If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up below.
Thank you

Valentine Parties: Volunteer Sign Up
On Wednesday, February 14th we will host our classroom Valentine Parties from 1:15-2:30. Students will be provided a snack during their party. Teachers will be planning the parties, but we are looking for parent volunteers to help. There are a limited number of volunteer spots for each grade level. We ask that you sign up for only one grade level as it is difficult to split time between classrooms.
In the event that we have too many volunteers we will go by the first to volunteer. Please do not send additional candy to pass out as several of our students have food allergies. The sign up urls are listed below:

IB-MYP @ North Middle School
NMS held their IB-MYP parent information night presentation on Thursday, January 18th. The snow and inclement weather were obstacles for many families who could not attend. To help inform those who could not attend, NMS has placed the presentation on their NMS web page and included it as a link below.
