Outside of School Activities!

This weekend I had a wonderful time watching a few students play football.  Cheering them on during games was very exciting!

I can't believe how many of you are so talented!  If you would like for me to cheer you on at a game, competition, recital, or performance, then please *Invite* me with the information that I will need to attend!  I look forward to seeing you shine outside of school. :-)

Red Ribbon Week ~ Team Day & Door Decoration and Elephant of Character!

Teaming up against Drugs!!

For our last day of Red Ribbon Week, we celebrated by wearing T-shirts for our favorite teams!  Also, we finished decorating our door! I am so proud of The Elephants' hard work: "Don't be Tricked, Treat Yourself to a Drug-Free Life." They wrote and drew pictures about how and why they will choose a drug free life.

Enjoy the pictures of The Elephants and The Honeybees as they are TEAMING up together against drugs! YAY for being Drug Free For Life.

** The Elephants Won First Place for Their Door Decorating **

Congrats to our Elephant of Character!!
