Last week the entire school participated in a fun-filled day to celebrate Founders Day! The Middle School students ran the games and activities. A huge thank you to Mrs. Mossor and Mrs. Mueller for organizing the day! We broke into small groups with some of our Pre-K friends and the boys and girls had a blast!
MAGNETS! MAGNETS! MAGNETS!
This week in science we used magnetic wands to see if specific items were magnetic. We learned that an item must be made out of iron, nickel, and cobalt in order to stick to our wands. Some items that were magnetic were: a paper clip, scissors, and a magnet. Some items that were not magnetic were: pencil, book, key, and an eraser. We also tested items from around the room. Magnets are fun!
HALLOWEEN MISSION PARTY!
The Halloween Mission Party is Thursday, October 31st! A few reminders about the day:
● The children are to arrive to school by 7:55 a.m. in costume.
● Costume “weapons” (swords, bows and arrows, guns, etc.) and full facial
masks will not be permitted.
● The parade will begin at 8:15 am - bring your cameras!
● Please have your child wear his/her costume with sneakers. The children
will remain in their costumes for the entire day.
● From 9:00-10:10, games will be held in the gym and activities will be held in
the MPR for students in Nursery 2, Nursery 3, Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st
