Cottonwood Elementary School - MPS

In case you like to plan ahead...🙂

The last week of school Mrs. Ward's 4th graders stepped outside to channel their inner Andy Goldsworthy! 🌿
Inspired by the famous artist, students used leaves, twigs, and stones to create beautiful, temporary nature sculptures. Such a cool way to combine art, teamwork, and nature! 🪵🌸

Did you know you can access SORA from home in the summer? SORA is great way to check out books to read on your personal devices at home!

Mrs. Tinderholt's 3rd graders worked hard and earned an ice cream party the last week of school! They enjoyed yummy ice cream piled high with sugary sprinkles! There were LOTS of happy, sticky smiles! 🍦😁

What an absolutely amazing last day of school! We sent our Cougars off into summer in the best way possible. 🐾✨

Our day was packed with school spirit, starting with some incredible student performances at our annual Talent Show 🎤🎸, followed by lots of memories and high-fives during our Autograph Walk ✍️📖.

We wrapped up the day with our favorite tradition: the 5th Grade Clap-Out 👏🎓, cheering on our oldest students as they walked through the halls one last time.

Thank you to our amazing students, staff, and families for a phenomenal school year. Have a safe, fun, and relaxing summer break! 🏖️🍦
