Reading and Walking the Trail

Today we had a Halloween celebration.  We read books had snacks and it was lots of fun.  We walked around the pond and skipped for reading and walking the Trail.  It was the best day ever.

On Wednesday, we had a houseleague assembly to show our school spirit and cheer on our houseleague teams.   Which team will win the houseleague cup this year?

We had a beautiful day for our Reading and Walking the Trail fundraiser.  Guest readers, skipping, dancing, walking the pond and of course - reading!  Thank you for your donation or for helping your children get pledges.  Last year's money went towards buying books for classroom libraries.  This year, the money will go to pay for classroom supplies and field trips.
