Mrs. Eckmann's second grade class hosted their very own Macy's Day parade this morning for the elementary classes. They each made their own balloon after reading the book "Balloons Over Broadway." It is a story about how the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade came to be what it is today.
Kindergarten received their final alphabet letter from other kindergarten classes from around the country. They received a letter from a school that started with every letter in the alphabet. The classes shared information about their school and state.

The students were super excited to play in the first snow of the season! Please make sure that your kids have appropriate attire. Everyone needs heavy coat, snowpants, boots, hats and gloves. We have a limited supply of clothing to lend out when someone forgets theirs. We want everyone to be safe and warm when playing!!!
Due to inclimate weather, there will be NO after-school activities/practices/open gyms/etc. Drive safe!

Friday the elementary finished up their read-a-thon with their pajama day (250 minutes) and snack time (all students received for reading so much). The kids especially were surprised by their snacks on their desks when they came in front last recess. A snack mix and hot cocoa with whipped topping and chocolate chips! There was even a little surprise saying on the bottom of the snack filled coffee filter. The kids loved them so much many took them home 💖 Some times it is the little things that mean the most 💖

Today is World Kindness Day! The elementary student council held a fun activity with the elementary students this morning. Each student received a balloon and wrote their name on it. All of the balloons were placed in the hall and they had to find their balloon. They helped each other find their balloons. It was fun to see the kids working together and being extra kind while looking for their balloons.
As Mr. Rogers once said, “There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.” Happy World Kindness Day!
