Copper Beech Parent Update
Week of January 1, 2024
Principal's Message
Dear Copper Beech Families,
This past week we enjoyed all the special activities our teachers planned for our children. There are too many smiles to count, and it shows in all of the pictures! Our students will always cherish all of the wonderful memories created for them throughout the school year, and most especially during the holidays. Thank you so much to all who volunteered their time and sent in special treats for our holiday celebrations. I hope you all have a wonderful winter break, find time to relax and rejuvenate, and enjoy spending time with your family and friends. I wish you a very happy and healthy new year and look forward to seeing you again in 2024!
Best regards,
Ms. Stokes

Service Learning would like to thank all of the Copper Beech families and staff members who donated to our Cradles to Crayons drive this year. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to donate two large bins of gloves, hats, and mittens. These will help keep children warm this winter. A special thank you to the 4th-grade Teachers who donated in honor of Marnie Scholl-Moore's birthday.
Twinning and Cougar Cart!
We always love to spot twinning at Copper Beech, as Ms. Swift twins "Grinch Style". This week our students in Ms. Reilly and Ms. Kramer's room made some very special deliveries to our teachers and staff when making their Cougar Cart rounds. We can't wait for their next visit!
