2C COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL APRIL 26, 2017 SUPPORTING ATTENDANCE CHALLENGE AT MIDDLE SCHOOL UNTIL MAY 1 We are starting the 2017 Great Attendance Chal- lenge this week!! If you were here last year, you might remember that we looked at the attendance percentages for each grade level for a two week period. The grade with the highest attendance percentage will earn an F party. That’s phones, food and fun during FLEX!! And why the Great Attendance Challenge? Because we know that when our students are at school as much as possible, they learn more and achieve to a higher level. Please take a look at our attendance thermometer near the inside mid- dle hallway. It shows that we have 94% of our students attending school throughout the fi rst 7 months of the year. Our goal is to fi nish the last two months at an even higher level. So, for the next two weeks, make sure you are at school as much as possible. If you do that, you will help your class be the one class at LMS to earn an F party. NEWSPAPERS IN EDUCATION Thank you to the following supporters: Ruth Ackley Irene Bauder Angie Borigo James and Carol Brownson Cindy Conrad Russell and Lee Cooper Robert and Mary Currier Bob and Janette Dill Long Family Jeffrey & Karen Freeman Kathryn Flynn Jean Furguson Mary Gabrielle, MD James & Barbara Grant John and Donna Mansfi eld Lonny Perini Ron Pupke Elaine Roberts Emily Settlemeyer Donna Shepherd Robert Swaringin Jan Thompson Randy Turpin Carol Volesky Lion's Pride raises $16,000 Money will go to the Children's Miracle Network Zane Levings is the Lion King. Levings was named winner of the annual Lion Pride's Pageant on Satur- day, April 22 during the Zany Dance. Levings raised the most money for the Children's Mira- cle Network but as a group, the contestants raised $16,000. The total fell short of the $22,000 goal. According to the high school, "The purpose of the Lion's Pride Pageant is to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. This organiza- tion provides money for Springfi eld RiverBend Sacred Heart Hospital's neonatal and pediatric units. These units of the hospital help not only premature babies, but also any child throughout their teenage years who requires hospitalization." The statement went on to note that several Cot- tage Grove High School students have benefi BY CAITLYN MAY cmay@cgsentinel.com tted from the Children's Miracle Network's rela- tionship with the pageant throughout the years. Moreover, the high school will a receive 10 per- cent return on whatever funds it raises through the event. The pageant contestants have been on the go since February with several events already completed including a kick-off dinner, Valentine's night babysitting and a dodgeball tournament. A signifi cant change to the program this year is the addition of female students. In its long history, the Lion's Pride, formally known as the Lion's King Pageant, has had only male students participate. According to the high school, "These girls are pi- oneers in our new perspective of the pageant and I am thrilled to bring them into our fold. This year, Hannah Albrecht, Lauren Fields and Elizabeth will usher in future female students as part of the Lion's Pride program.
