Dear families,

As we prepare to celebrate the end of an incredible school year, we are excited to recognize our students during our upcoming End-of-Year Ceremonies!

This quarter’s ceremonies for 1st through 4th grade will include recognition for:

• Genius Awards
• Library Challenge Finishers
• Excellence Awards in Art, Music, STEM, and Physical Education
• 
  

To ensure all academic information is finalized and accurate, additional awards that are traditionally presented during ceremonies will be sent home with students’ report cards after final grades have been completed and verified.

Kindergarten and 5th grade celebrations are planned by the grade-level teams and may include additional recognitions and activities specific to those celebrations.

We are proud of the hard work, leadership, and growth our Bobcats have shown throughout the year and look forward to celebrating these special accomplishments together!

Thank you for your continued support of Coosa Elementary School.

Go Bobcats! 💚💛
