Cottonwood Police Officer Terry Cochran recently spent
time in the classrooms at Prairie Elementary School during Red Ribbon Week.
Officer Cochran talked to the children about good drugs and bad drugs and
how to stay drug free. He talked about drugs that are legal and illegal.
He asked the children what they would do in different instances such as
if they found drug related items on the playground or if someone tried
to offer something unsafe to them. Officer Cochran spoke to the children
about staying safe on Halloween night and how important it is to have their
parents check the candy they collect while trick-or-treating.
Officer Cochran also spoke to the children about strangers
and what to do if they got lost in a store. The children enjoyed having
Officer Cochran visit their classrooms and they learned a lot about staying
safe!

Using creativity and reading to send a drug free message,
Mrs. Remacle’s English I students went to the elementary school on Friday,
October 26, to share their story books with the younger students.
Several of the books had professional looks to them by laminating the pages
(thank you, Mrs. Wimer), using different materials for the covers, and
being consistent with fonts and graphics. The main goal of the project
is that the high school students will take the time to really think about
what it would take to send a drug free message to younger persons, and
then share that message with them. The elementary students loved
the books, and the high school students realized what a huge impact their
presence has on these young students. They realized that they were
role models and didn’t even know it! In the top photo Sheri Schumacher,
Dani Cochran and Ryan Dalgliesh read to Mrs. Schumacher’s first grade class.
In the middle photo Mitch Jungert, Kris Banning, DJ Walker and Silas Whitely
read to Mrs. Riggers’ third grade class last Friday. In the bottom photo
Meaghan Bruner and Kendra Dinning finish reading their book to Mrs. Richardson’s
second grade class.
