Sussex SHARK Tales
Principal's Corner
Great Things Are Happening At Sussex!
Third graders in Mr. Urbanik's class searched for the treasures that could be found on a map. Students navigated to six different stations that each focused on a different topic. They utilized their map skills and learned a great deal about where they live!
Ms. Bruno & Ms. Martell's class learned about New Year's Resolutions and selected one word to focus on throughout the year. Their words will be displayed on a bulletin board in the hallway as a reminder of the words they chose and the goals they have set for themselves.
