“In Kindergarten, students have been learning so much about Our Five Senses and how to be Pawsome students! We tasted different kinds of apples 🍎 🍏, went to our first PAWS assembly, have been reading and discussing different texts, and have been making new friends. Keep up the great work!










On Friday the Autistic Support 3rd and 4th grade classrooms had students practice interpersonal communication skills and math skills by selling items for their apple orchard. The money raised went to benefit Best Buddies Program.






Reminder:
Today, Wednesday, October 2nd is a Half Day. The students are dismissed at 12:20.
Tomorrow, Thursday, October 3rd there is no school for students and staff.

During the assembly, we announced our 4th Grade Safeties for this school year! Congratulations to our new safety officers!

Today, we held our PAWS kickoff assembly. At the assembly, student and staff participants played a game with questions about our PAWS behavior expectations.
