🎉🫧 CCS Bubble Run — We're Almost There! 🫧🎉
What an incredible day of fun, foam, and fundraising at the Cottonwood Community School Bubble Run! 🏃♂️💨 Our students showed up with energy, spirit, and big hearts—all in support of a great cause: raising $10,000 for a brand-new sound system in our gym!
This sound system will transform our space for performances, assemblies, dances, and more—bringing student voices and celebrations to life in a whole new way! 🎤🎶💃
💥 And guess what? We’re so close to the finish line—just $400 more to hit our goal!
Let’s finish strong, CCS family! If you haven’t donated yet, now’s the perfect time. Every dollar helps us bring clearer sound and more joy to our events for years to come.
🫧 THANK YOU to everyone who ran, cheered, volunteered, and donated—we couldn’t do it without you! 🫶
