Thank you to everyone that sent in donations or helped with our stone soup celebration last week!  It was a huge success!  The children enjoyed all the activities and making and eating the food!!!

Student of the Month:

Leah

Leah is always doing her best and also helps her friends! 

Leah likes spaghetti and the color pink.  She likes to make a fox using

Leaves.  Leah has one pet named Tess.  Her goal this school year is to learn how to write.  Leah wants to be a farmer when she grows up.  Her favorite book is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!

Please keep sending shoes to school—or if it works better they can leave their shoes here.  The office has asked that children wear their snow gear to school to they can go directly to recess when they arrive at school.

Have a great weekend!
