| Students
in the Work Skills Center run The Cotting Cafe, where they practice
retail skills such as running a cash register, customer service,
and teamwork. Work Skills students also work
on assembly projects and clerical skills. Project Bridges is
a community based program in which students sample a variety
of volunteer internships to help them identify their interests
and gain work experience. |
At Cotting, the art program is designed
to nurture students’ creativity, promote self-expression and
foster the development of art appreciation and aesthetic growth.
Projects are adapted to each child’s cognitive and physical abilities.
Recently ceramics were added to the art program with the purchase
of a new kiln. Art exhibits, usually held off-campus, instill
a sense of pride in students. |
Fitness and good sportsmanship are the hallmarks
of Cotting’s adaptive physical education program. Rules and techniques
are adapted for each individual student, and teamwork and good
sportsmanship are stressed, skills which build self-esteem and
can be translated into many life experiences. |

| Continuing the School’s early
history of industrial education, woodshop remains a beloved class
for students of all ages and abilities. Equipment and projects
are chosen specifically for the abilities and interests of shop
students. Recent projects have included birdhouses, chessboards,
and a memorial bench in honor of a student who recently passed
away. |
Through the Supplemental Services Program,
boys and girls at Cotting can explore new hobbies and forms of
self-expression. The offerings change constantly. Recent Supplemental
Services courses have been Drama Club, photography, Chess Club,
jewelry making, winter sports, and Chinese cooking. The popular
“Circle of Friends” is a Friday evening social outing group for
middle and upper school students. |
