Principal's Message

 
Cowpens Middle celebrated their final regular basketball games of the season with a pep rally. This year, the spirit stick went to the seventh graders.
 
 
 
Students in eighth grade language arts classes participated in a culminating activity after reading "Flowers for Algernon." Students created "Body Biographies" of the main character, Charlie,  before and after surgery to increase his intelligence.  

Important Announcement for Parents of Sixth Graders
Beginning with the 2010-2011 school year, it will be required that children get an additional shot for Tetanus, Diptheria, and Pertussis. One shot will cover all three and is called T-Dap. Check with your physician or the Health Department for an appointment soon. This shot must be received before your child enters the seventh grade in August of 2010.
Please contact the Health Department at 596-2227 or your personal physician for an appointment.
