Getting Ready for Thanksgiving


The primary grades had so much fun with hands-on lessons today. They have been learning about pilgrims, American Indians, and the first Thanksgiving. Children learned to make their own bread just like they did in the 1600's. What do you need to go with bread? Butter, of course. Just shake, shake, shake to get a jar of the creamy spread!

Third Grade's Turn to Decorate Pumpkins


Each year, the Kiwanis Club sponsors a pumpkin decorating contest for grades K-3. The club members bring the pumpkins and the children bring their own decorations. We are grateful for the Kiwanis Club's involvement in our school.

The Books Come to Us


Kindergarten and 1st grade students visited the bookmobile today. It's so much fun to have your very own library card! They are so responsible - turning in their books and picking out new ones.

Pigs, PJ's and Pancakes


How can you teach the letter "P" to three and four year olds? By reading "If You Give A Pig a Pancake"! To reinforce the lesson, wouldn't it be fun to wear pj's to school and have pig face pancakes for snack? It sure was fun, just ask our pre-school students!

Meet the New First Grade Student


Say hello to "Star SOS", not an actual student, but a scarecrow version of a student that was created by the first grade class. An entry in a local chamber contest, Star greets students when they arrive at school in the morning.
