Dear Cotopaxi Community,
What a wonderful week of pirate activities we had! On Monday we had our school-wide monthly Paxi P.R.I.D.E. assembly led by our staff members: Chloe Masseria, Ryan Christensen, Sarah Adams, and Laura Reed. The focus was on respect. Students played respect Jeopardy, and it was great to see all grade-levels working collaboratively on discussing what respect looks and sounds like at school, home, and in other areas as well. Students and staff also had the opportunity to earn some prizes in celebration of our Paxi P.R.I.D.E. Our next assembly we will be celebrating integrity.
Our student council led a fun and spirited pep rally on Thursday! Teachers and students played some fun basketball games, and we all had the opportunity to cheer on and support the boy’s moving on to regionals in Fort Collins on Friday. Thank you community for always coming out to support our student-athletes at games. Shout out to our Cotopaxi boy’s basketball alumni for your support at the pep rally as well. Such a special moment that we will all cherish. Congratulations goes out to our boy’s basketball team for a wonderful season!
