2C COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL JANUARY 25, 2017 SUPPORTING Dorena checks in for the New Year NEWSPAPERS IN EDUCATION A peek into 2017's activities and plans Wow!! What a Winter break we all had. So many activities had to be rescheduled or can- celed. We had fun in the snow though. We had a very successful Holiday Bazaar on December 3rd. Vendors came from as far as Albany to sell their wares to Cottage Grove friends and family. It was a great time for all and many people pur- chased gifts for family and friends. Teachers and staff made wreathes and boughs out of local pines greens. The K/1 class sold snowfl akes made from old puzzle pieces, 4th /5th grade made reindeer from can- dy canes and Mr. Ghelfi , our middle school teach- er, dressed up as a skin- ny Santa. It was a Ho- Ho-Ho of a good time. Our Winter Celebration Concert was able to go off without a hitch. Beautiful music fi lled the gym as family and friends gathered one last time before Snowpoca- lypse hit. Teachers sold popcorn, hot dogs, and goodies to the crowd be- fore the show, adding to the fund raising money from the Holiday Bazaar. time. A special thanks to our amazing South Lane maintenance crew who were able to get the soft fall chips laid out. The 3 and 4 year olds were so excited when the temperature went up just enough for them to go outside and play. The New Year started off with a bang!
