Grade 3 is doing a wonderful job learning about the water cycle. In science class they made water cycle wheels & had a blast singing & acting out their "water cycle song". They also decorated Mrs. Witkowski's "Giantmicrobe" Christmas Tree.🎄

🚘🧽💦🌯 Here's a great Christmas gift idea, & an opportunity to take a night off from dinner!
As our 8th grade class prepares for their class trip to Philadelphia, they are selling Delta Sonic Car Wash gift cards & holding a dining out night at Chipotle on Niagara Falls Boulevard on Dec. 15th. Car washes make great Christmas gifts, & both events support our students. Click below to learn more. Thanks in advance for your support!
🎅🏼 Happy St. Nicholas Day! Grade 2 students left their "shoes" out in the hall overnight and came to school to find sweet treats in them from their saintly patron!
Grade 2 has been comparing & contrasting the past with today! Students recently shared re-caps of interviews they held with an older friend or family member. They asked what school was like when that individual was in 2nd grade, & then had to think about how some things are the same, while others have certainly changed! They did a fantastic job presenting.
❄️🫎🎄🎁 SMS families- don't forget, our Merry Moose Shop opens tomorrow! Dec. 3rd, 4th & 5th, students will have the opportunity to pick out their own inexpensive, high quality gifts for family and friends during school hours.
The Merry Moose Shop will be set up in the school and run by parent and school volunteers. Gifts are priced with a child’s budget in mind, with most ranging from $1.00 - $6.00. A budgeting envelope and flyer came home in backpacks, allowing you and your child to be able to decide together how much you’d like to spend and on whom. Please return the envelope with shopping money in it in order for your child to be able to shop by Weds. Dec. 4th.
The “Merry Moose Shop” is designed to be a safe, child-centered environment where children can learn how to budget and spend wisely, while they also experience the joy of giving at this blessed time of year.
