Happy Halloween from our kindergarten class! 🎃 We had fun learning about pumpkins and carving one.
For the last 3 weeks, Mrs. Henegar's class has been using a clean desk lottery system to motivate kids to organize their desks and keep them that way. Student names are entered onto the wheel if their desks stayed clean each day and on Friday, we spin for some free time. These are our three winners so far!
Mrs. Henegar's class has gotten into the spooky spirit by sharing some spooky narrative writing, campfire style!

Happy Boss's Day to our Principal, Mrs. Cady!
She's not just a "boss", she's a true leader! She treats everyone with respect, kindness and fairness. She supports her staff above and beyond. There is truly a job she wouldn't do in this building and most days she's doing a little bit of all of them!
We appreciate you, Mrs. Cady! ⚡
