Coopers Elementary School

As you know, our Fall Book Fair is coming soon and it will be here before you know it. You will have the opportunity once again to purchase digital gift cards. These digital gift cards improve accessibility, eliminate waste, and serve as a safe and easy payment method that won’t expire or get lost in a student’s backpack. They also make great gifts for teachers. That's right! You can purchase a gift card designated for your child's teacher for them to use at the fair or online. Visit our online fair to purchase a gift card. https://efairs.literati.com/?school=coopers-elementary-school-elm-city-nc

All Coopers' third and fifth-grade students recently received a wonderful learning opportunity with Mr. Reggie Cobb, Biology Professor at Nash Community College and former Bulldog parent. Mr. Cobb visited Mrs. Kristi Adkins' AIG Enrichment class to introduce students to the idea of a college science lab experience by talking about the importance of being active learners and asking good questions, as well as sharing his excitement related to the skeletal system. Mr. Bones and his twelve kids, the mini skeletons, helped students experience a fun, hands-on, engaging STEM activity related directly to science standards in third and fifth grade.

As of 1:23 p.m., we are pleased to report that all internet and phone lines have been successfully restored. We are grateful for your patience and understanding during this disruption. Thank you!
