Coopers Elementary School

Thank you so much to all of the families and staff members that volunteered at our School Beautification morning this morning! We had a wonderful turnout of volunteers that tended to all of the items on the to - do list all while smiling and having fun! Everyday is a great day to be a bulldog but it is days like today that remind you how special our community is. Now that the garden is cleared and the bushes are trimmed we are left wondering, "What will we do next?" We can't wait to keep improving our campus throughout the year!

TOMORROW, Friday, September 29 from 10:45 - 2:00, the Taste of Texas Food Truck will be on campus for our staff and community members to order lunch from! Bulldog families, this would be a great day for you to come and have lunch with your child and support the Taste of Texas Food Truck! We hope to see you there!

Nash County Public Schools CTE BUSINESS & INDUSTRY ROUNDUP This event is designed to guide students through a progressive journey of exploration and growth. • High School - Our program encourages students to engage their horizons by delving into available internships, and job opportunities, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed in the professional world. • Middle School - As students progress to this stage, they explore various industries - gaining insights into what different businesses entail, how they operate, and the path to get into those positions, helping them envision their future paths. • Elementary School - expose young minds to the world of business - offering hands-on experiences that ignite their curiosity about potential careers. Stepping stones for growth. #NashCountyPublicSchool #NCPS #CTE #ncpschools
