Thank you to the families that donated food towards our Stuff the Turkey Food Drive put on by our school Social Worker, Mrs. Buller. It is overwhelming knowing that we have so many families that are eager to help other families in our district. Enough food was brought in to help well over a dozen families in our district! Thank you so much for your generosity! And a special thanks to Mrs. Buller for putting this food drive together!

Meet.... GEORGE! :)
We have worked hard at convincing Mrs. Thies that we deserve a class pet. Finally... she caved! We are proud owners of a hamster in room 13! We chose to name him George for many reasons: 1. George Washington is Mrs. Thies' favorite president. 2. We love Curious George books! 3. We could get cutesy with his name and call him Georgy Porgy. The list can go on and on... If you have yet to sign and return the permission slip for your child to hold, clean, and care for George, please get that turned in as soon as possible. I cannot allow you With Veterans Day being on Monday, we took the time today to read "America's White Table" by Margot Theis Raven. We also talked about what a true hero is. After looking up the definition, we decided to write our own definitions of a hero. Our local Boy Scout Troop held a Flag Retirement Ceremony for our school. It was so neat to watch the process and be a part of such an amazing experience!
