Volleyball - Tuesdays & Thursdays, 6pm, Cooper Landing School Gymnasium

Adults only. Please have clean, non-marking shoes to play in.

All activities during school hours (afternoon Walk/Workout and Tot Time) require participants to first complete a school volunteer application, found here. When the application has been approved, you will be notified by email. You can then participate in these activities. Please feel free to stop by the school between 9am and 3pm for assistance with this application.

If you have ideas for future activities or would like to teach an adult or youth class through Community School, please contact us at cooperlandingcommunityschool@gmail.com.

We have an exciting calendar of volunteering & fundraising opportunities that can fit into a wide variety of schedules with varying levels of time commitments! Currently we are accepting fishing flies for our fly tying competition. Flies must be turned in (or mailed in) by April 26th. Please include your name and/or business name with a sentence or two about your fly. Bonus if you include why you support CLES! They can be mailed to CLES PO Box 510 Cooper Landing, AK 99572 or dropped off at CLES. Flies will be displayed at the Library and Softball Tournament (May 1st - June 14th)! The fly that generates the most donations will represent The Fireflies for one year and have bragging rights that last forever! Contact Rachel Mundy 907-9174444 with any questions!

Second Place Winners in the 5/6 District Competition!

February was an exciting month at Cooper Landing School! The annual Battle of the Book competition took place in the beginning of the month. We had three teams competing this year in the 3/4, 5/6, and Middle School categories. This highly competitive academic competition requires teams to read ten to twelve chapter books by a variety of authors. Our students worked hard to read and memorize details about the books for several months. The 5/6 scored high enough to enter the district finals where they placed in second place.

High School students worked hard writing essays for the 2023 George S. And Stella M. Knight Essay contest. Stela’s essay “The Importance of The Constitution” was selected as Alaska’s third place winner!

Congratulations to Molly, Kaia, and Stela! Job well done! We are all very proud of you!
