Kids of Character—Cougar Paws on 11/14

 

     This morning a special group of Cottonwood kids met in the Media Center to receive Cougar Paw awards.  Mrs. Nelson talked with them about the Six Pillars of Character Counts, and then she called each student up front as she read about what he/she had done to earn this honor.  

             Madeline Dickey and Trent Mischo received an award for Caring.  Michael Adcock, Abbey Schwahn and Sydney Dillow each were honored for showing Responsibility.  Max King, Jordan Lee, Brianna Thompson, Haley Sigler, and Gabby Hiatt received the award for showing good Citizenship.  Chase Fredersikson displayed the Pillar of Respect.

             Congratulations to this fine group of Cottonwood Cougars for showing everyone that Character Counts!
