Dec. 22/23 - A Very Fun Christmas Week!

Div. 13 enjoyed decorating cookies with their big buddies on Wednesday.  Thanks to Mrs. McBeath for making all the cookies and the icing.  

Thanks to Wyatt, Rhett, Massimo, Aurora, Blake, Juel for bringing our Christmas snacks and treats for our celebration.  Also thanks to Massimo, Gavin and Blake's parents for the pizza on our last day!

The students also loved the pancake breakfast put on by our PAC. The Grinch being there was an added attraction.

Thank you to parents and students for the thoughtful, generous gifts and hugs (I ask the children for an H (a high-five, handshake or hug) but many choose to do all 3!                                                                   Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!
