The 3rd Grade class made another trip to the manor today to make poppies with their residents in honor of Veterans Day next Wednesday. They turned out beautifully and several requested help hanging them in their windows! We also learned one resident has a special birthday Nov. 11th and will be turning 101 that day! 🎉 On the way back to school we got to enjoy the last pieces of fall as the trees shed the ice from the morning frost. Grateful to be able to make the quick walk to the manor each month!

Friendly reminder: All FCCLA fruit sales are due Monday, Nov. 9th at 8am to Mrs Langer. Thank you and have a great weekend!
