WinterWonderland Drive-thru
On Thursday, December 17th, faculty, staff, and the Jr./Sr. High School Student Council braved the cold to spread holiday cheer. Community members drove through the elementary and high school bus loops to wave at their teachers, admire the decorations, and see the couple of celebrities from the North Pole. Many visitors brought non-perishable food items which will be donated to a local food pantry.

			

					

					

							

Around the District…

Ruthie Kuipers won 1st place among all participating students in the GLOW region with 4279 minutes of activity recorded in the 9th annual Genesee Play to Get Fit Challenge.

	

7th and 8th grade students enjoyed days of class togetherness as they each spent a Wednesday learning and participating in group activities.

The 4th grade shared their Haudenosaunee projects with their classmates before Thanksgiving break. Their projects included scale models of dwellings and agriculture, and research on the history and culture of the Haudenosaunee people.
Great work, everyone!

Mrs. Auer’s art students adapted their plaster face mask projects for the pandemic but they still had a lot of fun.
