Cottonwood Families,
One Book One School!
It was so great to see so many families at our Robot Night! What perfect weather! It was fun watching students create robots, play games and have a robot dance off. We hope you enjoyed the book and the activities.

Parent Pride:
A Parent Volunteer Group
Parent Pride Committees
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.
