Big Apple Circus

Everyone had a great time on our trip to Manhattan's Lincoln Center for a presentation of the Big Apple Circus on Wednesday, November 19th. We saw acrobats, ballerinas, stunt dogs, horses, musicians, and, of course, Granny the Clown. What a great way to relax after two weeks of testing! View our photographs from the event!

Zimbabwe

Just a reminder that it's Go Green Week - and part of the 3 Rs we've been learning about is REUSING. We can practice reusing by finding items around the house that we no longer need and donating them to Zimbabwe. Some items that you can bring in are:
*Sneakers
*School and Art Supplies
*Sports Equipment
*Books
*Toys
Thank you so much!!!
