This year the 2011 Scouting for Food drive collected
1,120 lbs. An amazing amount to give to those in need. We extended our

and Keuterville. We thank you all so much for your generous donations.

The Cub Scouts from the Wolf and Bear dens along with
Boy Scout Anthony Karel, performed an outdoor flag ceremony for the entire
Elementary School Student Body. The boys have been learning about
the importance of showing proper respect and handling of the American Flag.
At 8:15 a.m. on Thursday Nov. 10th, the Elementary School students, staff
and parents gathered around the flag pole as caller Zack Arnzen gave
the orders. The Scout color guard, which consisted of Caleb Butler,
James Biltz, Travis Alfrey, Matt Coppernoll, and Anthony Karel, carried
the flag forward. Cole Martin raised the Colors. As the flag blew
in the wind, all those present saluted and recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
Then, leader Roger Burgess read the meaning of the 13 folds of the flag.
We would like to thank all the students who participated in this ceremony
and showed their patriotism and respect for our flag and all that it represents.

Exercising self-control was the theme for this Big
Screen School Assembly, “ Get A Grip,” presented by Camfel Productions.
The Cottonwood students, grades K-12, were encouraged to control their
impulses. They learned that self-control isn’t about denying themselves
of something fun or missing out on something; it’s about taking control
of their lives to shape and control their futures. The students also discovered
the benefits of self-control and how they can apply it to their daily life.

the 80th year of its founding on November 18, 2011, with a gathering from
