Cold Weather
Thank you for taking the time to bundle your child up on these cold, winter days! We have had several indoor recesses but did manage to get outside for a few minutes on Tuesday when the windchill temperature was warmer than -10. Here are a few pictures of how students spend recess on these winter days.

Snowshoeing Fun
Your son or daughter should have brought home a permission form for the snowshoeing activity. If they are interested in learning more about the outdoor activity, please return the form so we can have enough equipment.
The dates will be:
Kindergarten & 1st grades - Tuesday, January 20
2nd grade & 3rd grade - Tuesday, January 13
4th grade & 5th grade - Wednesday, January 14
(If your child has a church commitment on Wednesdays, they could attend on Tuesday - just notify Mrs. Abi.)
The activity will take place 3:20-4:45.
Teambuilding Time
Even though we are a small school, we often forget that students don't always know one another in different classrooms. We spent time making new friends on December 19. Students were split into teams with at least one student from each grade to get to know one another and to perform challenges. Older students did a fantastic job using leadership skills to guide their groups. Teams had to collaboratively construct a tower out of random objects, solve a puzzle, and pass each member through a hula hoop. It's fun to see the new friendships continue after Christmas break!
Good Samaritan Society
5th grade students spent an afternoon building gingerbread houses with residents at the Good Sam. It was remarkable to see the positive interaction between the different generations.
Camp Invention will return to LIW!
We are very excited to have Camp Invention return to LIW this summer! Last year, we had an amazing time of exploring, learning and creating. We are working on sponsors from local businesses to greatly reduce the cost for families. Mark your calendars for Camp Invention on June 1-5th!
Check out the video below to see highlights of last year's camp!
