Kindergarten Art Work of Books
While we were all shoveling or playing in the snow, the American Library Association was busy handing out book awards. I was able to quickly order and purchase award winners which we didn’t already have in our collection. Thanks to FOH for providing the library with extra funds to purchase these books. Here you see the kindergarten artwork based on one of the Caldecott award winners, Sam and Dave Dig A Hole.

Third Graders "I have a dream" Wishes
"I have a dream that people will understand and feel comfortable around people who have Autism, disabilities, downs syndrome, and for everyone to treat them fairly! But fair does not mean equal , fair means you get what you need! "

"I have a Dream that there will be justice all around the world and people will not be judged by skin color buy by character."



Drop Off Safety Reminders
This weather has been tough and parking even tougher! If you would like to drop off your child in front of the school, please remember, the safest place to do this is past the crosswalk and our crossing guard. You may NOT leave your vehicle, just let your child out of car on the sidewalk side of street. Please never stop in the crosswalk. Just while snowy, if a bus is not in sight, you can stop briefly in the bus lane to let you child out, but please don't stop in the bus lane if you see a bus coming down Cushing or behind you at all. Reminder, you may not park in front of school, it is only for letting kids out to enter building on their own. Thanks for your help!
