Coosada Choir Rocks Millbrook!

The Coosada Choir performed at Millbrook's Tree Lighting Ceremony on November 29th. They have practiced every afternoon for this special event. They sounded outstanding. I was very proud of their hard work and of their wonderful performance. Thank you to the teachers who have worked so hard with the students. Thank you to the students for ALWAYS doing your best. You make our school very proud. We look forward to the school concert coming up very soon!

Little Miss Spirit of Christmas

Several little girls from Coosada Elementary School participated in the Little Miss Spirit of Christmas pageant. We are very proud of all the girls who took a part in this special event. Pictured here are two of the winners from our school. Good job girls!

Thanksgiving Meal

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Meal. Thank you to the cafeteria staff. They cooked a fantastic meal to feed over 1,000 people. That is incredible!! The children had a great time making their attire for this special day. We had many family members to visit on Thursday. We were so excited to see how supportive our parents are of events at our school. We were glad to have all of you for lunch. We hope you can come back and visit real soon. Thanks again to the wonderful Coosada family who all pulled together to make this a wonderful day!

New area to play!

We are so proud of our new playground equipment. We spent over $17,000.00 on our playground area. We were disappointed when we thought we were going to run out of money before we could equip a recess area for kindergarten. We were so excited when a check for $5,000.00 came in the mail from Lowe's. We were awarded the Lowe's Toolbox Grant in June. We spent the entire $5,000.00 on play items for our recess area (two cars and safety materials). This allowed our Kindergarten students a special place to play! Check these girls out - they are having a great time!

Art and Music Room

We were able to obtain a grant from Teacher AirBorne Trust Fund in the amount of $5,000.00 to support our art and music program this school year. We started the art and music room last school year with $1250.00. The students and teachers have had a great time enjoying the resources in this special room. Each teacher has a 30 minute time slot weekly to visit the Art and Music room. The regular classroom teacher does the lesson due to the fact that we do not have funds to hire an Art/Music teacher. We plan to have an Art Auction at the end of the school year. The money earned from the Auction will be used to restock the art and music classroom for next school year. We are always looking for talented adults in the areas of Art and Music to share with our students.

Costume Parade 2007

We have a Costume Parade every year at Coosada on October 31st. The children enjoy this special day where we discuss "make believe". This year the office staff dressed up like the Wizard of Oz. The teachers in each pod also dress up by themes. This year we had some very creative ideas. We had Bo Peep and her lost sheep, Old McDonald and her farm, a group of colorful M&M's, crows and scarecrows, Snow White and three dwarfs, "Mint" to be teachers, Pirates, 1960's ladies, The Seasons, FBI Agents (brain inspectors), Word Walls, 1950's ladies, North/South/East and West, and the California Raisins. The children also dress up in creative costumes. They all look so cute and have such a great time. It was a fantastic day at CES!
