What's New in C2
Think ~ Innovate ~ Create
A great week at PRS
* Mrs. Lang was named Pike Road Schools principal. Congratulations!
* C2 took our field trip to Wadsworth Christmas Tree farm. We hiked, investigated, cut a tree, rode a North Pole wagon, snacked, and learned so much! Thank you so much to our chaperones who gladly gave of their time to join us on this learning expedition. We now have beautiful juniper trees gracing the C2 learning spaces.
* Monday night, the PTSA hosted the "PRS Express." There were so many fun games and activities. The children (and adults) had a blast! Thank you all for making this such a fun and festive night!
*Wednesday morning, Cross stitch productions came to put on a puppet performance.
*Learners have been counting down the days until Winter Break. Just five short days until we say goodbye until 2016.
