Mrs. Ross is doing a countdown to Christmas break with her fourth graders. Each day they complete a task with a Christmas theme. One task was brainstorming lists of things that bring students joy and writing them down on strips of paper. Those strips were made into a paper chain to decorate the classroom Christmas tree.



These ladies took twin day a little further than expected. Check out some of our jolly teachers.


Here are some pictures of a 1st, 4th, and 5th grade class participating in glow in the dark bowling. Kids look forward to this every single year! Thank you Coach Edwards for being amazing!
