Coop Scoop Report on the Week
Fun Fall Favorites at Coopertown
by Emma, Riley, and Uliza
We went around to all grades asking kids what their favorite fall activities are. First, we went to kindergarten and interviewed Ellie and Lochlan. Ellie likes to catch the leaves of the trees. Lochlan likes to jump in the leaves. Then we went to first grade and interviewed Jose and Eden. Jose likes to trick or treat. Eden likes to dress up and get candy. We went to the third grade and we interviewed Izzy, Brynn, and Michael. Izzy likes getting candy on Halloween. Brynn also likes getting candy. Finally, we went to fifth grade. In fifth grade we interviewed James, Max, and Evelyn. James likes Halloween because everyone dresses up. Max likes Halloween because he likes getting candy. Evelyn likes carving pumpkins because she likes touching the pumpkin guts. It seems like Coopertown knows how to have fun in the fall!

Black Belt Service Project By Coop 4th Grader
by Yuval N.
Logan Rogers is a ten year old student and has been at Coopertown for four years. He is trying to get a black karate belt but needs to complete a community service project first. Logan is collecting monetary and other donations for Providence Animal Shelter in Media until December 1st. Look for the donation box in the lobby. I interviewed Logan to learn more about his project.
Yuval: Why did you choose this project?
Logan: I chose this community service project because I love animals.
Yuval: Why do you need community service to get a black belt?
Logan: You need community service to get a black belt to show responsibility.
Yuval: What do you do for practice at home?
Logan: I do push-ups, sit-ups, and practice self-defense.
Yuval: Do you have a quote or slogan?
Logan: “Be Paw-Some.”
We look forward to helping Logan complete his service project!
