Full Speed Ahead!

Last week went by very quickly. 

We were pleased to have the "Respect Players" come visit on Tuesday. This was a group of students sponsored by the Council for Drug Free Youth that has been touring area elementary schools.  They presented a program to our first and second graders.  The students really enjoyed the performance.  Here are two teachers getting into the acting! 

The teacher on the left is Mrs. Berendzen and Mrs. Boessen is on the right.

Mrs. Pragman's Fourth Grade presented our morning assembly each day.  They sang a very creative "Responsible Song" on Wednesday that had been written by their classmate Samuel L.

Our guest speaker on Wednesday was Deputy Ralph Lemongelli.  He talked to the students about being responsible.

The Fourth Grade students also sang at our Home and School Meeting on Thursday night.

We ended the week with Grandparents Day for the Kindergarten classes.  We had over 150 grandparents come to visit.  We also had our Top Dog Donuts and Juice snack that morning as well.  Our Top Dog Students for the Wednesday, September 8th were
