Cooper Elementary hitting the big 100

Cooper Elementary’s 100th birthday will be celebrated tonight from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Festivities include an “over the years” pictorial, along with a display of the contents from the school’s unearthed time capsule from the 1980-1981 academic year. Students have also created a historical events timeline that includes 1895 to 1908, when the school was Minnehaha School, and from 1908 to present, as Cooper Elementary.

Students will continue the celebration with their singing and drumming, and there will, of course, be cake.

Join the party at Cooper Elementary at 3200 N. Ferrall St.
