Moss Point School Distric Kicks Off Diaper Drive

Cochran Family Gets Ready for Quadruplets

Moss Point School District

The Moss Point School District is reaching out to its fellow employee.

Sandra Cochran, wife of Moss Point High School teacher and athletic coach Matt Cochran, will be welcoming not one, not two, not three, but four newborns into their lives in the coming weeks.

The Cochrans are overcome with joy about their little gifts from the stork, and have begun to prepare.

“We have a white board to keep up with the daily schedule of babies,” says Matt Cochran. “It’s going to be a big challenge, but I can’t wait.”

Moss Point schools are helping the Cochrans with their new additions. The district has kicked into gear a Diaper Drive to help with baby diapers and other necessities.

According to DiaperSafari.com, each newborn will need around 12 diapers a day, which brings the total to 48 a day!

The anticipation is felt throughout the whole family; even the couple’s 3-year-old Hannah-Noelle is both ecstatic and confused.

“It’s been hard on her, not knowing why mommy is not home,” says Coach Cochran. “But she knows she will soon have new brothers and sisters.”

Sarah Cochran has been placed on bed rest and observation for the remainder of her term.
However, that has not stopped the family from a cheerful countdown to birthday zero.

“We are at the home stretch,” states Cochran with a smile. “Everything is going according to plan.”

The quadruplets will be named Cannon, Gunner, Lauren, and Avery Cochran.

To donate diapers or necessities to the Diaper Drive, contact Myya Robinson or Grenita Capilla at 474-3399.
