We had the BEST day today!  We spent our day researching and paraphrasing information about the crops we will be planting in our tower garden.  Today we spent time building our gardens and everyone is very excited to get started with the growing process.  We will have updates on seesaw throughout the year so you can see how our garden is doing.  We will also send some treats home to you!

The cold weather has officially arrived!

Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for these cold days. Coats, hats, and gloves are essential for students to safely be outside for any period of time, whether it is walking to school, playing outside during recess, waiting at the bus stop, or just going to and from the car at arrival and dismissal.
