The jumprope assembly was so cool!

Did you have students come home asking to join the jump rope team? We had the coolest assembly this week! The Jumpin’ Company came and showed us so many cool tricks with their jump ropes. They even had some of our students and teachers jump with them! It was amazing and now all of our students want to jumprope all day long!

The 5th Graders came to school today only to discover that all of their chairs had been stolen!  No worries, though, the teachers found new ones for them -- the tiniest chairs in the school!  Good thing our 5th Grade students are such good sports!

Students at our school have been creating cards and artwork for Ukranian Refugee Children.  They have put a lot of thought into creating things that they feel would bring some comfort to kids who are facing hard times right now.  It's been amazing to see the effort they put into these projects!
