Library Display – Art work by our 2nd and 3rd grade students is featured on the Schlow Library bulletin boards this month. Drop by to see the work of our young artists. Thanks to art teacher, Laura Adams for organizing the show.
100 days – I attended part of the 100th Day of School party held in Tr. Lisa’s room this week. To celebrate, the students counted various objects and ate 100. Don’t know how to eat 100? Ask a K/1 student.
Chinese New Year - Special thanks goes to school parents Ying Wang and Yanhua Wang for sharing Chinese New Year customs with the K/1 classes this week. Kerry Wiessmann and Beth Resko coordinated the celebration in Teacher Tim’s 4th grade class, and we send our thanks to them, too.
