DecemberAuthor Visit with Jack Gantos
On November 20th, renowned author Jack Gantos worked with our 5th Grade students on journal writing. His focus was on “What to Write / How to Organize What You Write / How to Polish It.” Our students enjoyed it and had many questions. After the grade level presentation, Mr. Gantos met with 14 students for even more questions. This was a great experience for our 5th graders.

Wreaths for Veterans 
On Saturday. December 25, Some of our Student Action Team members and their parents attended the Wreaths Across America ceremony held at Col. Raymond F. Gates Cemetery in Rocky Hill. This was a nationwide program to “REMEMBER the Fallen… HONOR those who Serve… TEACH our children the value of Freedom”. Over 500 wreaths were laid on the graves. Our SAT students raised enough funds to purchase 24 wreaths. It was a memorable event.

Each student made a "Buddy Bag" for a Kindergartener that included a stuffed animals. a passport with a note, and the birth certificate of the stuffed animal.
