Quick note
As we head into winter break, there is so much to celebrate! Staff and students are engaged! The weather has been pretty mild for December! The Broncos have won a few games! And we have some designs for the planned construction of a new Fletcher Miller building. If you want to see the designed floorplan, it is on display in our lobby.
Finally, join us tomorrow at our PTA's Breakfast with Santa event. There will be food, activities and a visit from the big guy himself!

Elementary's Parade
As a group we read Balloons over Broadway: The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy's Parade by Mellissa Sweet. The book told the story of a puppeteer named Tony Sarg. Just like the puppeteer, our students were challenged to design a balloon for the parade and create a device to keep their balloon floating in the air! Then we paraded our balloons through the hallways with music to help pave the way.
Secondary Cookies
Several Secondary students engage in the Ask Your Neighbor initiative, where they fulfill orders from a different classroom. This week, the students assisted another secondary class is preparing for a bake sale. They measured and delivered the necessary dry ingredients for baking cookies to support the PTA's fundraising efforts. Then the students worked together to pour all the ingredients into bowls to create the batter. Then created the cookies for the bake sale.
