❄️ Snowy Fun in Kindergarten! ❄️
While staying with Mrs. Jennifer Kelly’s Kindergarten class during enrichment time due to Beacon testing, students still had a blast! They enjoyed playing in “snow” made from shaving cream, writing letters, and drawing pictures. Lots of laughter, learning, and sharing with friends made it a fun and memorable experience! 😊✏️

The DEN Book Club is throwing it back to a childhood favorite—Where the Red Fern Grows! While many remember the tears and the deep love between a boy and his dogs, this story is also rich with grit. By the end we'll have "[hearts] full of dog love" and powerful reminders about perseverance and growing up. If you haven’t read this classic—or if it’s been a while—join us as we read together.
📸 Make-Up Picture Day! 📸
Make-up pictures will be taken on Tuesday, January 13 beginning at 8:00 AM.
This is for students who were absent on picture day or anyone who needs a retake. Please be sure students arrive on time and are ready to smile! 😊
Order forms are available in the media center.
ORDER FORMS MUST BE TURNED IN ON PICTURE DAY.
