Trantwood Times
"Captivating Every Student, Every Day!"
Kudos - singing the praises of our staff :)
To Lisa Lee for the amazing job she did organizing and getting all the gifts out to the Trantwood families. I think she must secretly be one of Santa’s elves as she knew exactly what she was doing! Nancy
Many thanks to Becky McCallum and Karen Frances for the gorgeous decorations for our staff luncheon. Everything was so beautiful!
Kudos to Anne Glenn-Zeljeznjak for her partnership with Salad Works. The salads were awesome and a great way to not put on too many pounds prior to the holiday break!
Many thanks to Bessie Titisis, Leanne Bolin, and Frank Drumm for all their help cleaning up. Many hands really do make for light work!
Special thanks to Jean Stockburger for making her coffee punch for our staff luncheon. It was love at first sip!

STEM Site
Kudos to Kindergarten for exploring during collaboration and discovering this awesome STEM site. On this site, they found learning plans that supported their content instruction and were able to begin to answer one of the most important questions that should be answered during collaboration: How will we know they learned it?

And employees were scurrying

To help us have a healthy body and mind.
