Text Box: From Mrs. Nelson— Last Friday morning several students received Cougar Paws for demonstrating at least one Pillar of Character: Responsibility and Caring— Seth Williams, Abi Torrez and Garrett Connelly; Trustworthy and Respectful— Autumn Bailey Sainato; Caring — Nathan Kucera; Respect, Responsibility, Citizenship and Caring— Simon Gradoville; Citizenship and Responsibility— Sydney Kamradt, Haley Sigler and Brianna Thompson; Respect— Ty Sarvis; Responsibility— Kealy Fisher and Rivers Bachman. When I asked this group if they would keep practicing these traits on Saturday and Sunday, even when school was out, they gave me a resounding “yes!” Their reason was simple: If we are all kind and caring, then others will want to be that way, too. We can make a difference at Cottonwood, and we can make a difference in the community as well. Your kids are terrific! We are expecting a heat wave this weekend— 40 degrees— but winter is probably going to stick around a while. We decide whether students will go outside for recess based on the weather conditions— wind chill— and the conditions of the playground and blacktop. Please dress your child as if we are going outside for recess. Make sure he/she has gloves, a hat and a warm coat. When there is snow on the ground, send snow boots and pants to school for the little ones. That way he/she can walk off the blacktop and enjoy the white stuff! —NN

REMINDERS

· Do not let your child get out or in your car using the far side of the drop-off lane. Opening a door into traffic is just asking for problems!

· Next week is Spirit Week. Check inside so that you can join in the fun!
