Copper Beech Parent Update
Week of October 9, 2023
Principal's Message
Dear Copper Beech Families,
This week was certainly a busy one! Thank you for showing your support for those who have fought and continue to fight Breast Cancer. Our Movie Night and Car Wash were a joy to see! Thanks to our PTA, staff members, and families for supporting these events and making them a success! In addition, we saw so many wonderful things happening in classrooms across the school as students worked hard in their small groups, independently, and in whole groups. It is clear that they love to learn from their smiles and engagement! I hope you enjoy the beautiful fall weather that has finally come our way.
Best regards,
Ms. Stokes
Last Week in Review!
