Cossatot River School District

Exciting times in Ms. Phoebe's history class at Umpire as our students participated in a classroom simulation of the Greek Olympics! From tongue-twisting debates to paper airplane javelin throws, the competition was fierce and fun! They also showcased their skills in boxing by memorizing box contents, hummed popular songs for music, designed unique flags for art, and even had a thumb wrestling championship! Kudos to all the students for their creativity and enthusiasm in bringing history to life!

It was a wild and wonderful day at CRES! Thanks to Carolina Critters, our students had the chance to learn about a variety of incredible animals through their engaging, hands-on presentation. From exploring animal behavior to discovering more about wildlife conservation and habitats, it was an unforgettable learning experience for everyone. The Carolina Critters program brings the wonders of nature directly to schools, creating an interactive space where students can deepen their understanding and appreciation for animals and their environments. Unforgettable memories were definitely made!

The Lost Tooth Club has gained 3 more members!

CRHS FCCLA is in need of Disney costumes for our upcoming event! If you have any you'd be willing to donate or allow the chapter to borrow, please contact a FCCLA member or Elizabeth Hoyle. Drop off available at CRHS on school days. Contact Ms. Hoyle for pickup at ehoyle@acossatot.us.

Huge thank you to Carolina Critters for coming to CRPS to show the awesome animals to our students and letting our teachers have a chance to hold some of the animals as well!

Shoutout to Ms. Nolen's 7th-grade science class at Umpire for showing off their incredible work!

Big thanks to our local volunteer firefighters for visiting Umpire school yesterday to teach our elementary students about fire safety! The kids had a blast honking the horn and spraying the fire hose, all while learning important safety tips. We appreciate all you do for our community!

CRPS is so thankful to have a principal as wonderful as Mrs. Cowart to celebrate during National Principal's Month!

Just a reminder that tomorrow, October 10th is Picture Day for CRPS.

Mrs. Tena's third-grade students at CRES explored the characteristics of story characters. They discovered that while everyone possesses visible external traits, we also have internal traits that define our true selves.

We deeply appreciate Mrs. Richardson's hard work and dedication in making CRES a wonderful place for all!
