The JH boys had a rowdy cheering section for their game on Tuesday afternoon. We love this school spirit! GO BOBCATS!
Mrs. Green's 2nd graders read the story "Balloons Over Broadway" where they learned the history of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. They then had the opportunity to design their own balloons and then they wrote a persuasive piece of writing about why they think their design should be a part of the parade! We had so many creative ideas. We had a student create a snow globe of a Christmas scene, another designed a balloon dedicated to veterans. We also had different characters such a Pikachu and Spider-Man. We even had a couple of student design different emojis! Of course a few student designed balloons based on their beloved cats and dogs.
