Summer Food Service Program

Just to clarify, the Summer Food Service Program will continue through the school year.  Breakfast and lunch will continue to be free of charge to any student 18 or younger.

Please check your accounts as seconds are not free and some accounts are outstanding and payments need applied to students to continue to get seconds and extra milk.

Thank you,
Jen Young

Second Grade Grinches

Learning got Grinchy today in second grade!

We studied the story, picked out the problem and solution, and talked about how the Grinch changed his behavior and made a good choice to be KIND. We look up to the Grinch for having a change of heart and choosing to be kind!

We had phonics Grinch style with green pencils and talked in Grinch voices! We made a diagram of the Grinch, wrote the room with words that start with g (especially our sight words!) and we did some Grinchy math!
