Cowpens Elementary School

Veterans were honored at Cowpens Elementary
School’s annual Veterans Day Program. The
servicemen and women enjoyed patriotic songs
from first graders and the chorus, heard tributes,
and received appreciation letters from
students. A World War II veteran received
special recognition.

Dominic Sacchetti, third.

Cowpens Elementary School reading specialist,
Marlene Jacobs, entered her school in a
Facebook contest and won a sign that was
placed outside the school to celebrate veterans
in the community.

The Cowpens Elementary School family had a
wonderful, restful, fun-filled evening at Webber
Meadows Farm. The faculty oohed and aahed
and loved on the beautiful Alpacas and the
herding dogs. In addition, they got hands on
experience with the Alpaca fleece as they
made nesting balls. The evening ended with a
light supper around the fire pit. CES thanks
Donnie and Tracie Elder for opening their
lovely farm to the faculty.
