It is such a fun tradition to get the whole school together for the Christmas sing-along. Each grade prepares a song that they then sing for the rest of the school. This year we also had our choir sing three songs for us at the beginning. The school favorite is singing the 12 days of christmas because each grade has different verses we stand up for. Have a great rest of the week off!

Hello Parents,
I hope you all had a fun filled holiday with your family. Now that Thanksgiving is over the white stuff is falling in preparation for our next holiday. Wow! Beautiful.
Our theme for this month is I can be big by using good manners. Our class read a few fun books on manners and then acted some situations out with puppets. They will all have great manners now.

The 5th Grade Wax Museum was held on November 14, 2016. These fifth graders were asked to pick a famous American, read a biography, write a speech, memorize it and then present to the school and their parents. The students did an amazing job. For parents, that night, the student performed songs then froze and delivered their speeches dressed up as their famous American. They worked hard and it showed. Great job, fifth graders!
Dear Parents,
Thank you for talking to your children about the lock down procedures. Fridays drill went smoothly. On Wednesday of this week, our faculty and staff will be trained again by myself and David Gneiting, our district At-Risk specialist, of more items to be aware of as far as safety. We continue to practice and improve procedures so we will all have a peace of mind that children are safe and cared for while at school.

This is the second year that the 6th graders have performed Thriller for the school. It is something they really enjoy doing and will remember forever. AWESOME performance 6th grade!!
Mr. Anderson gave an exciting lesson about germs. He showed them what happens when they don't wash their hands well. The students washed their hands once then he put a squirt of Glow Germ on their hands and had them rub it in. They inspected their hands under a light and they could see where they didn't wash well enough. Then of course, they washed a second time after being taught the correct way to wash. A little gross but very informative. I don't think his class will every forget that lesson. Nicely done Mr. Anderson!
