Cottonwood Community School Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month with First Annual Fall Fiesta
Cottonwood Community School hosted its inaugural Fall Fiesta in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, attracting over 400 students and their families for an unforgettable evening. The event featured a lively atmosphere filled with delicious food, engaging games, and vibrant music.
Special thanks go to our generous sponsors—Sodexo, Plaza Bonita, and Conchos—for their support. The highlight of the night was a captivating performance by Mariachi Osos de Valle, which brought the community together through the joy of music. The evening culminated with a special performance by Los Lobos Mariachi, joining forces with Mariachi Osos de Valle, creating a memorable finale for all attendees.
The Fall Fiesta was a fantastic way to celebrate culture and community, fostering connections among families and honoring the rich traditions of Hispanic heritage. We look forward to making this an annual tradition!
Come join the fun!

Good morning all COCSD Families! If your child is riding the bus home from after-school clubs, aka 21st Century, please make sure you know the arrival time. Kinders and 1st graders NEED to have a grown-up to get them off the bus. If they have older family members, that is ok too. Any changes need to be called through your campus office. Thank you!
