In the hustle and bustle of the holidays, please remember finding time to read to and with your child(ren) is still possible...and important! What a fun time of year to read holiday books and familiar bedtime favorites with a hopefully more relaxed schedule. Books like The Grinch and The Polar Express can be compared to the movies, too. If you are able to visit safely with relatives, that is a great opportunity for students to let their reading abilities shine brightly. Happy reading over a safe and healthy Christmas break, Everyone!
Some of the 8th grade math students learned a new card game to share with family and friends over the holiday break.

Mrs. Haines’s class enjoyed getting ready for Christmas break by doing reader's theater plays, minute to win it games, and making miniature gingerbread houses.
We hope you enjoy the holidays!


Mrs. Henrichs's amazing 2nd graders chose to donate to the Ronald McDonald House of Marshfield for their Christmas celebration! Here they pose with the items purchased with their donations! 💙
