Mrs. Bailor's class had a Guest reader for Hispanic Heritage Month. Thank you NAHS students!
Second graders marked the problem and resolution using Wit & Wisdom text. We are enjoying reading stories about Fall!
Each week a Golden Paw is awarded to a student in each grade for going above and beyond and that exemplifies the quality of the month. This month we focused on being positive. The students were rewarded with a medal, a prize, and due to a donation from the Elmwood Park Zoo a free admission ticket to the zoo. Congratulations to our winners and a special thank you to the Elmwood Park Zoo.
