Summer reading continues at the Library with Thia
van Houten and her dog, Mousie, of Cottonwood as guests last week. Mousie
is a two year old Chihuahua and very cute. He did tricks for the kids and
they were allowed to give him treats. They asked a lot of questions about
him. The next Summer Reading session is Thursday, July 5 at 1:30 p.m. Click

Super Kids Reading Program K-2: K-2 teachers met for
training on a newly revised Super Kids Reading Program. Many of our
parents remember the program when they were in first grade. The program
has been updated to meet the Common Core Standards and integrates reading,
language and spelling. Kristi Bruegeman, Marlene Forsmann, Cindy
Schumacher, Andrea Brannan, Becky Higgins and Vikki Riener met on June
28 to go through the program and prepare for the upcoming year. On
June 27, Becky Higgins attended an Edustat conference in Boise. The
conference was structured around looking at our education system in a way
that integrates the technology and works with the data to provide 21st
century education practice. Cottonwood School District will be piloting
iPads in the 2nd grade classrooms, will be receiving mobile devices for
all 9-12 educators in September/October, and will be in the first round
of student mobile devices for 9-12 students 2013-2014. Click on the photo

The slogan “Do a good turn daily” came alive when
one of our vehicles got a flat tire on the way home from the Boy Scout
campout at Camp Grizzly. Kevin Tillinghast jumped right in and started
the process of changing the flat tire. Jared Coppernoll, Carson, Schmidt,
Hunter Chaffee and Anthony Karel assisted. “Thank you guys.” Photo by Shari
