That's a wrap on our school book fair! Thank you to all the families, students, and staff who supported our book fair--it really does make a difference for our students and our library reading program! Also, a giant SHOUT-OUT to Mrs. Ashley Jewell who makes the Book Fair Magic happen--we wouldn't have had a successful fair without all of her hard work!

Virtual Field Trip to NYC! New York City?!?!?!?
Mrs. LeeAnn Gardenhire’s 2nd grade class enjoyed a special Thanksgiving-week virtual field trip to New York City today! Students “flew” into JFK Airport, explored iconic city sights, and learned how the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade began.

The lesson was based on the book Balloons Over Broadway by Melissa Sweet, which tells the story behind the parade’s famous balloons. After watching how the real floats and balloons are created, students designed and built their very own balloon prototypes. Their creativity truly shined—and the final vote ended in a tie!

We are so proud of their hard work and imagination. Check out the photos below to see their amazing designs! #Creativity #STEMinElementary #HandsOnLearning #ThanksgivingWeekLearning

Mrs. Ford's GCATS 6th grade class was treated to authentic Japanese onigiri homemade by Gracie! It was delicious!
