Just Catching Up....

It is time to catch up....


As 2012 comes to an end, I thought I should share with you a few photos from three special projects.

Courtyard Cleanup...

The students all grabbed a rake and joined in the fun of cleaning up our Outdoor Education area.  The leaves were really flying and we were able to bag 20+ bags of leaves during a fall Friday afternoon.  The area is now ready for winter.   



Food Bank of Lincoln...

I challenged the students to bring in canned items for the Food Bank of Lincoln.  For each item that was donated, I would make a financial gift to the food bank.  Well, the students did a great job.  Not only did they bring in several boxes of food but I made a financial gift of $50.00 to the food bank.  Our gifts made certain that several families had the food they needed for the holidays.  Thank you!!!

Your child's teacher????

Reach for the Stars...

We trust our children to this guy?

Once again, the students met the challenge that was placed in front of them.  Each student read at least 30 minutes a night for 10 days...they collected donations for our Reach for the Stars program...and in return I proudly wore this outfit  for all to see.  The boa, the corn cob hat, and that lovely tie-dye lab coat.  A real fashion statement for 2012!

That's $1129 for our field trip fund!

The students in all three classrooms read a total of 498 hours and collected thousands of dollars in pledges.  Mrs. LeBlanc (The Book Lady) then presented the class with a check for $1129.00 which will be used to fund our spring trip to Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo.  In addition to the cash, students also received bags and bags full of books to take home for their personal library.  Happy reading!

Students enjoy their books.

It's ALL mine!

Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season!
