The trout in the grade 3-4-5 Science Lab tank are now officially fry and they are doing amazing. Most of them have left their feeding basket and are now in the main tank. Our students are enjoying having the opportunity to feed them!

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.🎄

Grade 1 did a candy cane experiment last week with Mrs. Picone that was SO cool! Students were amazed as to what happened to the sugary treat in the water, vinegar, soda, and oil!

🚘🧽💦🌯 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!

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.

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.

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.
