3Gr and 3Bu enjoyed exploring magnetic force in our science unit, “Motion and Matter.”

Today we had our assembly to start our fundraising efforts for the American Heart Association. Students will be brining home information on how to get signed up online. Check out our special "visitor"! There are many fun prizes for students as they reach different fundraising levels which are all outlines on the information coming home.

Just a reminder: with our cold days and snowy weather, students need to have all their snow gear and warm clothing here for outside recess. Please reach out to classroom teachers if assistance is needed with any of these items.

We will not have school on Friday, January 23rd due to the cold weather warning. We will not have any morning activities. Evening activities for Friday will by made by noon on Friday as we monitor the cold weather warning. #StaySafe
