Cottonwood
and area history continued
What comes around goes around. All our lives we talk of or about the
1920’s or especially the 1930’s when we talk about hard times out of one
side of our mouth then, in a little while out of the other side of our
mouth, “Yes, by golly, those were the good old days!” . . .

The Prairie Kindergarten class enjoyed an afternoon
at the fire station learning about fire safety. Mr. Holthaus
talked to the kids about the importance of having a home fire escape plan
and what to do in case of a house fire. The students got to spray
the fire hose and were given a tour of the fire station. Thank you
to our great volunteer firemen! Photo provided by Kristi Bruegeman. Click

Cindy Schumacher’s first graders from Prairie Elementary
School recently went on their annual field trip to St. Mary’s Hospital.
The children were able to visit the Laboratory, X-Ray, the Emergency Room,
the Operating Room and the Ambulance. Hospital personnel showed them
what takes place in each area. The children even received a mini-cast
on their fingers in the emergency room. At the end of the tour the
children were treated to juice and home-made cookies in the cafeteria.
The first graders and their teacher would like to thank Mrs. Cheri Holthaus
for her continual support in organizing this valuable field trip each year.
They would also like to thank all of the employees who take time out of
their busy day to teach the children about the hospital and the jobs they
do. We really enjoyed the tour and we always learn a lot!

Prairie Elementary first graders, Mrs. Farnworth
and Mr. and Mrs. Rambo. The Farnworths and the Rambos treated the
children to a BBQ at the City Park as winners of the Box Top contest. Students
at Prairie Elementary School participate in a contest each year to see
which class can collect the most BOX TOPS. The winner of the contest
this year was Cindy Schumacher’s first grade class. The children
brought in well over 2000 Box Tops!!! Box Tops have been
collected for many years and the money raised from the Box Tops has
helped fund the new playground equipment that will be put in place
at the Elementary School for the new school year. Mrs. Schumacher
would like to thank all of the children and their families for being so
diligent in collecting and sending in the Box Tops all year long!!
They sent in an amazing amount of Box Tops for one class to collect!!
As the winners of the contest, Mrs. Schumacher and the first graders would
like to thank the Rambos and the Farnworths for treating them to a BBQ
at the City Park . Thank you for all of the effort you extend
each year to coordinate the Box Top collections. We are the lucky
recipients of your time and generosity. We can’t wait to play on
the new playground equipment!! Click on the photo for a larger view.
