Pre-K students have been learning about maple syrup in library this week. We read "Making Maple Syrup" by Michele Dufresne and "Almost Time" by Gary D. Schmidt and Elizabeth Stickney. Students watched a video from Highlights magazine on maple syrup production and then did a movement break from GoNoodle called "Never Eat Soggy Waffles." Students were encouraged to participate in the upcoming Maine Maple Sunday Weekend, where families can visit local farms, sample maple syrup and watch it being made.

Over break we held our "Scooping for the Community" fundraiser at Gelato Fiasco where our celebrity scoopers, Principal McKay and Principal Berkowitz enjoyed greeting and scooping gelato for those who attended the event. We successfully raised $385.88. Thank you to everyone who came out during that cold February day to enjoy a sweet treat, and help raise money for the Bath Elementary PTA.
