To Halloween…and beyond!
Our staff brought the Toy Story magic to school today! Lots of laughs, lots of smiles, and a whole lot of Halloween fun! And if you see us suddenly freeze..don’t worry-someone probably yelled, “Andy’s coming!”

Mrs. Goodrich’s grade 2 students explored the wonders of autumn! After reading Why Do Leaves Change Color?, they collected leaves and created beautiful leaf rubbings—a fun and colorful way to learn about nature’s seasonal changes

Our Pumpkin Patch of Readers is growing! Since October 3rd, students have been diving into nightly reading, and the challenge runs through Friday, November 7th. We’re tracking progress by class and grade level—let’s see which patch grows the biggest!
Reading builds vocabulary, improves focus, and expands imagination. When families and schools work together to encourage reading, our students thrive both academically and personally. Keep reading and watch our pumpkin patch bloom!

Last week, our Grade 2 students took a nature walk as part of their Changing Seasons curriculum. They embraced the crisp fall air while observing how nature transforms this time of year — noticing colorful leaves, cooler temperatures, and signs of autumn all around. Along the way, students collected leaves to bring their learning about seasonal changes to life!
