We had a boo-tiful time at our Halloween Party and Halloween Parade. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make it possible including our Party Planner/Room Mom, Mrs. Adams. The class had so much fun!

The Upcoming Week at School:

Amplify is new this year and it addresses all of the common core science standards.
