Welcome Back BBQ!

Come join your fellow Cowles families and friends with food, music, face-paint, games and more!

Money from the BBQ will raise funds for Cowles Middle School's annual trip to Y Camp-- this is coming up on Sept 25 & 26!! https://givebutter.com/FfFAd1

Why does Middle School go to Y Camp? To connect to the outdoors, and to each other! Y Camp states, “Nature is our classroom. In our classroom the students don’t have to sit still, face forward or stand in line. Students will move, yell, giggle and play as they learn valuable lessons about nature, themselves and each other. Through our curriculum, we help students challenge themselves to do more. Our staff guide students through hands-on experiences and analysis to connect their learning to both the outside world and themselves.”

Every year when we ask students to reflect back on their favorite parts of the school year, Y Camp is always the most commonly stated highlight.

We need some help to keep this tradition alive! It costs $80/student for Y Camp fee and bussing. Middle School hopes to fundraise a good portion through the Back to School BBQ and other fundraising events this year, but if families are able, Middle School asks for $80/student to offset unmet fundraising.
