Cottonwood Community School held its annual Title I Night yesterday evening! 📚✨

It was a wonderful night filled with laughter and excitement! 😄💛 A big thank-you to Sodexo for generously providing the dinner! 🙌🍴
Chocolate Chip for the Win!
Yesterday, the kindergarteners at Cottonwood Community School explored the importance of voting! They cast their votes for their favorite cookie and discovered that chocolate chip is the class favorite. 🍪✅
Principal Heather Langley from Mountain View Prep is proudly sporting her Yavapai County “I VOTED” sticker today! 🗳️ Have you turned in your ballot yet? There’s still time!
If you haven’t already mailed it, be sure to drop off your ballot for the Cottonwood-Oak Creek and Mingus Union High School Special Override Election at the Yavapai County Administration Building, 10 S. 6th St., Cottonwood — today!
Every vote matters for our schools and community. ✅
🏐 Congratulations to the Cottonwood Community School Lady Lobos Volleyball Team! 🏆
The Lady Lobos brought home the Verde Valley League Championship last weekend after a hard-fought battle against a very talented Mountain View Prep team — and came out on top!
We are so proud of their determination, perseverance, and grit throughout the season.
👏 Special congratulations to Cora Kenley and Aaliyah Tobas Cazarez for being named to the All-Tournament Team, and to Khloe Rosenkranz for earning MVP Hitter honors!
It was truly a great day to be a Lobo! 🐺❤️

That’s right… every window, ghost, and creepy detail has to be torn by hand. 😱
