February 23rd-February 27th

I hope everyone enjoyed the chilly winter break! Our Valentine's Day pancake breakfast was a great success! The class really enjoyed it. Thanks to everyone who sent in supplies and to the parent volunteers, Mrs. Hershberg, Mrs. Gordinier and Mr. Rodriguez!

A few months ago, Ann Schwanda came and the third graders created quilt squares to be made into quilts. The quilts are donated to children in local hospitals and shelters. She brought the quilts to Slingerlands for the third grade classes to see. Our quilt came out great!
