Coebourn Elementary Update
December 2019
Dear Coebourn Families,

Coebourn Elementary is ready to celebrate the season! Please join us on the evening of December 4th when the the Coebourn Elementary Chorus and Band will deck the halls with beautiful songs of the season as they perform at the Coebourn Elementary Winter Concert.

The spirit of the season is about giving and Coebourn families are always ready to support our charitable efforts. This month Coebourn Student Council will be working in conjunction with Second Chance Toys to collect gently used, intact, plastic toys. A collection bin will be located in the school lobby through December 13th so please feel free to send toys to school with your child or stop by the school office.

Last month was action packed so be sure to check the stories below to read about all the exciting events that took place at Coebourn Elementary School.

Veteran's Day Ceremony

Coebourn Elementary Student Council and the Coebourn Teacher Veteran Committee organized and hosted a Veteran’s Day ceremony at Coebourn Elementary School on November 12th. Veterans from the community were invited to attend the ceremony and a breakfast in their honor. One of our veteran’s commented, “I’ve been retired from the military for decades and this was the first honor I’ve been to." It was an amazing ceremony and a small token of our appreciation for all who have served.
Operation Gratitude

Coebourn Elementary Student Council and their advisor, Mrs. Kuhn, organized a Candy Drive for Operation Gratitude and collected 400 pounds of candy that was mailed to troops, veterans and first responders. The students also participated in a school wide read to learn about service and then made thank you cards to send along with the candy. Thank you to all the Coebourn families who donated candy to this cause.
Canned Food Drive

Coebourn Elementary Student Council hosted a canned food drive throughout the month of November and collected hundreds of non-perishable items donated by Coebourn families. The food drive was a success and benefitted a local City Team outreach program. Thank you to all who were able to donate to the drive.
