💙🧡Cope Cougar Spotlight! 🧡💙
One of our 8th grade students, Collin Culbreath, had a great weekend on the baseball diamond. He and his team won the 2D Ruston Fall Opener Championship this past weekend. We love to see our CMS students succeeding outside of school! Way to Collin!

🎶 Tonight was an absolute treat!
If you weren't at the CMS choir concert this evening, you missed something special. Dr. Budgewater’s choir groups delivered a performance filled with talent, passion, and remarkable skill. From the very first harmony, the music just wrapped around the audience--the kind of performance that warms your heart and instantly relaxes your soul.
Huge congratulations to Dr. Budgewater and every single Cougar vocalist for sharing their incredible gifts with us tonight. We are so lucky to have such extraordinary talent at Cope! ❤️✨
We are so thankful for all our PTO parents for setting up and serving concessions and our apple bar! Yall are the best!!!
