Mrs. Kluever's 5th grade students took the reigns as they rolled out, cut out, and baked Christmas cookies. One student cashed in her Storm Bucks to pay for a class Science experiment, and this is what won the majority vote. Thank you to our awesome kitchen staff for baking them.

This week in Ms. Johnson's SEL class, we learned about gratitude. Mrs. Gruber's kindergarten class had fun practicing gratitude by playing the game Hot potato. When the music stopped they had to name a person, place, or thing they were grateful for.
