Meet Mike, a boy blind from birth who excels in public school, shocks the neighbors by riding his bicycle through the streets of Palmdale, CA, drives a car around his college campus, and uses his relationship of trust and teamwork with Roselle to help others on a day that changed America forever.”

Mr. Michael Hingson, author of Running with Roselle, visits Cottage Lane and share his stories of growing up blind and the importance of teamwork.

Wild About Character

This year at Cottage Lane we are “wild” about character. Each month we will focus on a trait and a book to build students with great character. Wilson Kimeli Naiyomah wrote 14 Cows for America One inscription reads, “To all the little children who read this book. You are the peace the world has been waiting for. May you grow to be compassionate diplomats.” You have the ability to make the world and our school a better place.

What can you do this year to heal a sorrowing heart?

Colors of Character

This year our Character Education Program brightened our lives with “Colors of Character.” Each month we focused on a character trait, a symbolic color and a shared reading. Each assembly celebrated this colorful trait and recognized students who exemplified this trait.

The Cottage Lane Community is bursting with colors. Let’s show everyone our true colors.

Do you remember the Invisible Boy? Recall all the character traits you practiced this year.
