SPAM (Students Preventing Animal Mistreatment) is collecting dog food for hungry dogs. The goal is to donate at least 2,000 pounds of dog food to these two groups.
🐶 Forgotten Dogs needs “plain” foods like Pedigree and Purina, as dogs coming off the streets cannot tolerate higher protein foods.
🐶 Pure Mutts needs organic, high protein foods like Victor or Kirkland for their special needs dogs. Please note: no food containing red dye, as it can make dogs sick. (See flyer for details).
Please bring all donations to room 224 in the Upper School this week. Thank you for supporting the food drive!

From Curiosity to Wisdom
A recognized leader in independent school education for 31 years, The John Cooper School is proud to have grown with The Woodlands. Since the inaugural opening day in 1988, Cooper has nurtured a love of life, learning and the world around us.
Our history includes being part of George Mitchell’s initial vision for The Woodlands. In the early years of developing a new planned community, Mr. Mitchell set aside 43 acres for a private school and sought the guidance of renowned independent school educator Mr. John Cooper to counsel him about establishing a college preparatory school in his “new hometown.”
That vision became a reality when The John Cooper School opened on September 6, 1988 and the school has grown in both size and distinction to become one of the premier independent schools in the Houston area.
Cooper opened with an enrollment of 175 students in Pre-K through Grade 7 in 1988 and a grade level was added in each subsequent year until the first class graduated in 1994.
