You may have seen the ribbons many of our students won at Field Day events this year. Please express your thanks to United Bank for funding the purchase of those ribbons this year. Our kids were super excited to receive them for their Field Day achievements. Also assisting with our successful field days were volunteers from Carver Road Baptist. These men and women helped oversee event stations, provided extra hands and eyes, and kept everything running smoothly. They are always so faithful in helping us with extra workers for our events! #ColtsCan #FieldDay2024 #UnitedBank #CarverRoadBaptist #PIE

It is a Cowan tradition that on the last day of school, teachers wave off the buses then all go to the front to load the car riders. The video of waving off the buses is here (it will take a minute to load): https://bit.ly/4bzKEef To all of our students and families: please stay safe this summer, keep reading, take care of each other, have fun, and we look forward to seeing you back at school for Open House! #ColtsCan #Summer24

Mrs. Baker had the Star Lab in the media center and ALL of 2nd and 3rd grade classes were able to come experience this. One PreK and one K class also joined in the fun. Pictures inside the star lab are hard because it is SO DARK. In the very first pic, look closely and you can see the outlines of some student heads at the bottom. :-) #ColtsCan #AlwaysLearning #Constellations #StarLab #MediaCenter
