CES Art Fest

Thank you to all the parents who came out and participated in Art Fest! It was a great night of celebrating our students! The Choir did a fabulous job with their Spring Concert! We would also like to thank our musicians from Stanhope Elmore High School and Mrs. Boyer for the lovely music in the halls! All the proceeds from this event will be used to replenish the resources in our Art and Music Classroom. Thanks again for your support!

EXTRA PARKING AVAILABLE!

The school has leased some property from our neighbor in order to provide extra parking for busy school days. This is valuable information with Spring field trips coming up and our Honor's Day programs drawing near. The parking on the other side of the chain length fence next to our original parking area is available to our school. Please park in this grassy area when the parking spaces in our lot are full. Please spread the word to other parents so this space is utilized. Thanks for your cooperation!

Read Across America Kick Off

We had several special guests who came to read to the children today to kick off our exciting week! We spend everyday encouraging our students to read, but we make Read Across America week especially fun for our students! Dr. Langham and The Cat in the Hat (Kyle Goodin) were both with us today to kick off this special event. Other special guests were Angela Dewberry, Bill Roberts, Mayor Houston, Coach Conrad Henderson, Tony Crenshaw, Glenn Halbrooks, JT and LeAnne, Mayor Al Kelley, Jeff Foshee, Jackie Smith, and Mr. McGhee. We appreciate all of our guests coming to our school to encourage our students to have a love for reading. We look forward to a week full of fun!

Groundbreaking Ceremony

Our students were invited to be a part of the Groundbreaking Ceremony for Airport Road Intermediate School that is slated to open 2009. The current first graders at Coosada will be the first class to attend this school. The site where the school is located is absolutely beautiful. The children did an excellent job and seemed to really enjoy the ceremony. We are all very excited about the new facility!

THANK YOU LOWES IN PRATTVILLE

We received a $5,000.00 grant from Lowe's Toolbox this summer to help support our efforts in building a new playground. We were very appreciative of that monetary donation and quickly spent it on play equipment for our students. It was a special surprise this January when Patrick Meehan called our school offering labor and supply donations to our school! We, of course, said, "YES, YES, YES!". His group came out in the pouring,freezing rain for several days in a row to complete these special projects for our students. The Gazebo adjacent to the playground and the picnic tables were completely donated by Patrick's team from Lowe's. They also made the ramp going in to our Dr. Suess house and landscaped nicely around the playhouse. We are very appreciative of their extra effort for our students. We look forward to using our picnic area in the Spring. Thank you to all the volunteers from Lowe's who came out to work for our children. Parents please spend your money at Lowe's, because they definitley support local public education!
