Cowden-Herrick CUSD

It is National Rock, Paper, Scissors Day and we celebrated with the staff at Cowden-Herrick Elementary School. Teachers and staff collected beads throughout the day with rounds of rock, paper, scissors. The finalists were Mrs. Westjohn, Miss Burrus, Mrs. Parks, Mrs. Conlin, Mrs. Hicks and Mrs. Jefferies. An "all or nothing" round was played and we would like to congratulate Miss Burrus as the first Rock , Paper, Scissors Champion! We are Bobcat Proud!
