Cogburn Woods' Student Council headed by teachers Jill Keller and Karen Schnell, sponsored a Valentine's Day carnation sale as a fundraiser to help purchase much needed supplies for our troops who are currently serving in Iraq. The carnation sale netted over $2,500 to purchase items for care packages which will be sent on behalf of everyone in our school.  Thank you to all who helped honor these servicemen with our gift of supplies, and at the same time, make a staff member’s day!    

We are very proud of fourth grader, Akshaya Uthayakumar in Mrs. Parham's class, for winning "First" place in this year’s Fulton County Technology Competition! Her project, Around the World in 10 Minutes, was a multimedia presentation using PowerPoint. She will go on to represent Cogburn Woods at the state competition, the Georgia Educational Technology Fair, on March 8, 2008, held in Forsyth County. In addition,  fifth grader Sean Flanagan, tied for "Second" place with his project, Mercury, a project programming entry. Congratulations to both Akshaya and Sean!
