Congratulations to Mrs. Marshall, 4th grade teacher, who will retire this year after 23 years in education.  Please join us in sharing your best wishes for retirement on May 14th in our library.  

The annual Cottonwood Showcase of Talent will be held on the morning  of Thursday, May 23rd at 9:00 Prior to the Showcase, all students in grades 1-5 will get the chance to perform for their grade-level peers.  The grade-level performances will occur with just their peers so that each student gets to do his/her act for an audience.  Each act will be voted on (secret ballot) by the students and/or teachers at that grade level.  Grade level teachers will be sharing more information as to when their grade levels will have performances.  A maximum of three acts per grade level will move on to perform for the whole school!   

Acts are to be no more than two-and-a-half minutes long.  Music must be transferred to CD, or send a link to the music through Youtube etc .  We will not be accepting any “lip sync” acts, and a child may appear in only one act.  If your child wishes to perform, please help him/her develop an act that will be appropriate and enjoyable for all ages.  Thank you for your support.  We hope you can join us.
