Teacher and Staff Member Favorite Things

The Coosa Chorus and Drumline had their Spring performances this week on Thursday, 5/1 (evening) and on Friday, 5/2 (morning assembly). They did an amazing job under the direction of Mrs. Smith, our beloved music teacher. Check on our social media outlets for videos of the performances.

We are so sad to announce that Mrs. Smith is moving onto a new adventure in Ohio, but we are incredibly happy and proud to know she will always be a Bobcat! Best of luck in your next season, Mrs. Smith! You will be greatly missed at Coosa by staff, faculty, and students!

Congratulations to our student, Everly! Everly entered the Beaufort County Library's Summer Reading Bookmark Contest and won for her age group! This means her bookmark will be published and available at all Beaufort County Library locations this summer. Her bookmark is displayed in the picture below (furthest left). We are so proud of you, Everly!

Ms. Kabel and Mrs. Comunale will be sharing more about the program during library classes in the coming weeks. Look for the game card to come home with your students as well!

Begin with the End in Mind - Personal Responsibility

This week, we focus on Begin with the End in Mind by teaching personal responsibility. Encourage your child to think about the long-term consequences of their actions. Help them set realistic goals and identify the steps needed to achieve them. Guide them in understanding that their actions today influence their future success. Praise them for taking ownership of their actions and learning from their experiences.
