We are extending an invitation to decorate Masquerade Masks on October 10, 3:00-5:30, at the Cottonwood Public Library. It should be a creative time; filled with fun and camaraderie. These masks will be auctioned off either at our November Gala or our Mystery Event (TBD) . Hopefully, COCSD and the Verde Valley community would be interested in participating in this event by attending the mask decorating. 😉Thanks, for always being so supportive of the positive mentorship of our Verde children. Have an awesome week.
With a Sincere Thank You,
Cheryl Gray

Hello DDB families... Our Diamondback route driver's last day will be this Friday, Oct 4th. We WILL have coverage as the driver who had it previously is driving it again starting on Monday, Oct 7th. But since he will still be driving another route before-hand, this will make the Diamondback route start later in the afternoon. We are looking at a 20 minute possible delay before leaving DDB. Please contact the Transportation Dept if you have questions. Thank you - Daniel Maldonado, Transportation Director.
Hello DDB Families... I regret to inform you that due to driver illness, we will need to do a last minute cancellation for the Elk route this afternoon. We apologize for the minimal heads up. Please accept our apologies for this major inconvenience. - Daniel Maldonado, Transportation Director

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!
