Congratulations to our book character Gingerbread Man contest winners! "Where's Waldo" by Holden Williams-1st grade. "Piggie" from Elephant and Piggie by Ryleigh Steck-2nd grade. "Hero Boy" from Polar Express by Ayleigh Urish-5th grade. "Fancy Nancy" by Miss Jakie. Great job to everyone who entered!

Miss Read’s first graders composed a story and Mrs. Kloba’s 6th graders illustrated their stories and shared the final result. Then the 6th graders helped their first grade buddy make wind chimes. It was fun getting to know one another.

Dismissal and break schedule!
