Highlights

It was black and orange day!  Students also had fun participating in their first inline skating class.  We have inline skating again on Tuesday and Wednesday.  If your child brought a helmet or inline skating equipment, we will keep it at the school until Wednesday.

Today some of our students shared about how they celebrated Diwali over the weekend.  There are also a number of students who are celebrating Halloween today.  We worked on adding details and descriptive words when writing about a haunted house picture.
