Parents and Pastries

Friday March 1, 2019 7:30-8:20 am

Parents are invited to enjoy a donut and milk with their child while they read some great books at the school. 

Feburary 19-22, 2019: Please bring your used or new shoes to the school for the shoe drive. There will be boxes by the office to drop them off. 

These shoes will benefit families in poverty stricken countrues by allowing women to sell the shoes and build micro-economies within the cities they live. 

This week, our fabulous PTA sponsored a Teacher Appreciation Week. We were definitely spoiled! The decorations were amazing. We were treated to a massage, breakfast, lunch, Italian sodas, daily drawings for fantastic prizes, cookies, candy, and a spa certificate. We are so grateful for the support that our PTA gives us. Thank you so much!!

This year's wax museum was amazing. Fifth-grade students learned about the presidents of the United States of America. Each student dressed up as a president or president's wife and gave a speech highlighting important events and facts about their assigned president. All classes and parents were invited to attend one of their performances. It was a great experience for all!

Students in Mrs. Murphy's class have been learning about electricity. They have talked about positive and negative charges in static and current electricity. To learn in a hands-on way, the students created a flashlight on a craft stick using a mini LED light, watch battery, binder clips, and some copper wire/tape. Students were challenged as they worked to make sure that the batteries were placed on the correct side of the charge which would then power their lights. The students had lots of fun once they got their lights working!
