Note From the Principal
We hope all of our families had a wonderful holiday season and were able to spend some quality family time with your children when they were home on winter break. We have officially started our third quarter of the school year, it's hard to believe it is already half way over!
Report cards will be coming home on January 23rd. Please review this with your child and reach out to your child's teacher with any questions.
Please mark your calendar for the evening of February 4th and plan to stop by Shadowlawn with your child for our annual Student Led Conferences. Please keep an eye out for more information coming home in Thursday folders in the coming weeks.

Read-A-Thon - Thank You!
Many thanks to all of our students and families who participated in our annual Read-A-Thon! We well surpassed last year's fundraising efforts and raised over $6,000 for our school! Teachers are already making plans for fun lessons, activities, and events that will be funded by the Read-a-Thon.
Students and classes that raised the most money celebrated this week with a Pizza Party!

Around the School
Kindergarten
Kindergarten has been buzzing with excitement and creativity! Our students showed their creativity by making scarecrows as part of our fall activities, and they had a blast participating in the ABC Fashion Show during our Read-a-Thon. We also took our first field trip to the Golisano Children’s Museum, where the kids explored, learned, and made amazing memories together.
1st Grade
First grade has been having fun practicing subtraction using part-part-whole and sight words using hands-up, pair-up to holiday music.
2nd Grade
3rd Grade
Third graders have been working hard at mastering their multiplication tables. They are learning different strategies on how to multiply. Once they complete all their multiplication tables they earn an ice cream cone.
4th Grade
Ms. Ames Scientists conducting an experiment! By putting chalk in a jar, they were able to experience weathering and erosion happening in front of their very eyes!!
5th Grade
Fifth-grade math students are practicing dividing decimals through task cards designed to challenge and enhance their skills. They are moving around the room, solving problems, and seeking support when needed. This active approach helps them build confidence in their mathematical abilities.
