At the beginning of the school year, Rebekah Bruner,
on her own, started a group called GGG (Go Green Group). Together
with Brock Heath and Megan Sigler, she designed a presentation for all
students in our district to promote recycling awareness. Rebekah,
Brock and Megan have all volunteered many hours giving the presentations
and organizing, transporting and sorting recyclables. We
now have storage sheds at both the elementary and high school to store
recyclables and the high school now has containers for plastic bottles.
Future plans include getting more school involvement in recycling, promoting
community awareness, and possibly getting own recycling bins in Cottonwood.
Shown arere is Rebekah Bruner and Megan Sigler talking with the kindergarten
at the elementary school.Click on the photo for a larger view.

It took over two and a half hours, but we finally
have a chess winner. Approximately thirty middle school students
watched as Lucas Arnzen, left, and Chaye Uptmor, right, challenged each
other in a final match at The Hangout. The game was called
after two and a half hours and continued at the middle school the following
Tuesday where Chaye captured Lucas’s king. Hunter Chaffee won the
fifth grade competition, and Bobby Gillum won the seventh grade competition.
Approximately 60 students participated in Chess Club this year. Chess
Club offers students an opportunity to participate on an individual level
and stresses respect for each other.
