McCook Elementary 'Portfolio Night'

Kellen Rippen, top photo, and her daughter, first grader Joylyn Rippen work on the group mural project Monday evening at McCook Elementary, while Joylyn enjoys a cookie provided by the McCook Elementary PTO. At right, Krystal Weber views her son Kellen's art while little sister Chloe looks on. McCook National Bank's America's Promise Grant was used to purchase portfolio materials for all incoming first graders. They use them all three years. Portfolio night is a chance to come and pick up art, view it with family members, enjoy a cookie, and participate in a group art project.
