🎻✨ What a beautiful afternoon celebrating music at Cottonwood Community School! ✨🎻
We are so proud of sisters Faye and Lilah Elinski, who performed in their Spring Violin Graduation Concert yesterday. These two have been playing violin for 7 years, and it truly shows—they played beautifully together and brought such joy to everyone in the room.
Their success didn’t happen overnight. Faye and Lilah practice 30 minutes a day on most days and dedicate 3 hours each week to lessons. Their performance is a wonderful reminder that becoming great at something takes patience, practice, and dedication.
To top it all off, they ended their concert by answering thoughtful questions from staff, students, and community members—such a special way to share their passion and inspire others.
💙 Way to go, Faye and Lilah! Your hard work and teamwork are inspiring to us all. 🎶👏

A big thank you to everyone who came out to support, show off their amazing vehicles, and help make the event such a great time for our community.

We lead ourselves first by making good decisions, staying coachable, and listening to the people who guide us, especially parents, teachers, and mentors.
When we choose to be respectful, responsible, and open to learning, we begin to Level Up our leadership from the inside out!

Big shoutout to Mr. A for going above and beyond with our students at our Wheel Fun Mountain Biking Club! 🚲 As part of our 21st CCLC after school program at Cottonwood Community School, he’s been helping riders build skills, confidence, and a love for the trail—especially supporting those who need a little extra help getting started.
And a huge thank you to Mr. Franklin for generously letting us borrow this tandem bike. It’s been a game changer for helping less sturdy riders feel safe, supported, and successful while riding.
Moments like these are what make this community so special—teamwork, encouragement, and a whole lot of fun on two wheels!

Mrs. Bivanco’s 2nd grade class had an exciting visit from a dentist! Students learned all about the importance of keeping their teeth clean and healthy. They talked about why brushing and flossing every day matters, how to prevent cavities, and the best ways to take care of their smiles.
Thank you to our special guest for teaching our students healthy habits that will last a lifetime!
