Crafts & Gifts to Memory Care
Sixth grade worked on crafts and gift baskets for the nurses and staff and Memory Care NB for the month of December. They delivered all the goodies after school on Dec. 14th. See photos below. What an amazing act of kindness from our 6th grade team!
7th grade GT did a team building and communication LEGO challenge. They also made Christmas cards for the Fire Fighters as a way to foster empathy and kindness. They also had Mr. Braun, our district technologist, come in and do three days of lessons on virtual reality using the VR headset. Below are photos of the GT students making Christmas cards that will be delivered this week to the fire station.
