Visiting the Seniors
Every month one class in our school walks across town to visit the seniors. They bring a craft they have made to brighten up their dining room and show off their reading skills! It's a great way to get out into the community!

Everyone came to the gym in their pajamas!
The Mitten!
Staff members recorded their voice reading a page of The Mitten. The students got to guess which staff member was reading.
Poppin' With Spirit
This initiative starts Monday December 16th and goes until the Popcorn maker is full!
Each CLASSROOM is going to get a bunch of Popcorn papers that say “Poppin’ with Spirit.”
If you see someone using kindness, gratitude, humility, integrity, and/or self-control you can give them a popcorn piece.
Whenever it gets full, we will declare a show in the afternoon with popcorn!
