Thank you for believing in so many tomorrows of our students. The Cottage School is fortunate to have your dedication and passion for the past 30 years. To honor this milestone, TCS will dedicate a bench in her honor. The bench, located on the high school end of campus, will be surrounded by flowers, “Finnell’s Flowers”, representing students past and present.
