Cotter’s student council hosted a talent show on Thursday, March 24, at an afternoon assembly.

“The acts and the way the crowd supported them were both great,  the talent show displayed Cotter at its best,” Cotter president Mrs. Fitch said.

There were five acts that performed, starting with the Cotter Show Choir, under the direction of Mrs. Jirele.  Senior student council member Tomas Castillo was the emcee for the event.
