Coweeman students created letters for our local service members this week. They thanked them for their daily dedication to serving others and for their bravery. On the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, we remember that in a time of terror, there is always light.


Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!
Remember to wear your mask. 🐾
