Our Tiger Cubs students have had fun this week creating art with a variety of materials.
Our youngest Tigers celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day with a math and reasoning activity followed by enjoying delicious apples.
We are excited to announce that our building has added a Book Vending Machine! The Book Vending Machine was purchased with funds saved from our annual Scholastic Book Fair fundraisers, and PTO provided a large donation to help us reach the funding goal. We wanted to ensure that every single student in our school would have the opportunity to get a book each school year, so we chose to use this to help celebrate each child on their birthday. For students with summer birthdays, we will celebrate their half-birthdays. For birthdays that fall on the weekends or during extended breaks (Winter Break, Spring Break, etc.), we will celebrate on the Friday before. We are very excited to help build home libraries in this manner!
