Way to Go!

iWalk/iRun for iPads! 

Thank you all so much for your generous donations to our iWalk/iRun for iPads fundraiser. Our goal was $10,000 and Cotton Creek students raised $10,284.58!  Students earned a school-wide pajama day! We will have our pajama day on Wednesday, May 23rd. Students brought in over $700.00 on the Friday following the Fun Run. Mr. Kempsell now has to dress up like a turkey! Gobble, gobble!
