News from Principal W. Spells
Happy New Year and wishing everyone a great New Year! Please take the time to visit your child's homeroom web page to view what is taking place in the classroom.
If you have not seen the "Gingerbread House" made by students in Mrs. Carey's class, please check it out. As you can see from the picture it is amazing but needs to be seen in person. The Gingerbread house will be on display until the end of this month.
Each classroom teacher had students work on project constructing or drawing a "Gingerbread House" in December. The projects are still up for you to see at school.
We have a bulletin board in the center hall of the Preschool area which displays "Friends Caught Being Kind & Random Acts of Kindness." Acts of Kindness by Students will be recognized and posted on the bulletin board during the course of the month. Have you checked out the pictures and displays that are in the hallway area around the school?
