Friday, October 5th Koala News

Cooper Parent Club has kicked off the Fun Run with students. Flyers and envelopes have been sent home. The Cooper Fun Run promotes physical fitness and raises money for our students' activities and classrooms. The Fun Run will be held on Oct. 12th. This is our main fundraiser for the school year.

The assembly to wrap up the Fun Run will be held on Oct. 19th. During the assembly students will have a chance to duct tape a certain someone from Cooper to the gym wall! Prizes will be given out at this time. Go Koala's!
