Classroom Volunteers

We LOVE our classroom volunteers. I was able to sneak a few pictures of our volunteers in action on Friday during center time. We also have volunteers that come in throughout the week during our writing time. I am beyond appreciative of these parents that take time out of their busy schedules to aid us in our learning. Your kiddos LOVE it too! It's so great to have the home and school connection being made through classroom volunteering. THANK YOU!

Apple Orchard

We are so lucky to have a school population that is able to raise enough money through the Walk-a-Thon fundraiser so that our PTO is able to send us on these amazing field trips. We were able to bus 71 kids and many adults all the way to Stanton, MI and enjoy the wonderful Anderson & Girls Orchard. When we first arrived at the orchard we were treated with fresh donuts and cider. It was all very delicious! While we were there at the orchard we got to partake in a wagon ride out into the orchard where we found and picked our most favorite apples. We also got to tour the cider mill and learn how they sort, clean and what they do with all of the apples, including how they actually make apple cider. At the orchard they have many interesting animals including zebras, camels, emu, kangaroos, and many more! We even got to feed the goats in their petting zoo. We ended our day at Anderson & Girls playing in their amazingly awesome play equipment. The bus ride home was certainly a quiet one, we were all tired out!



Fire Safety

We had a visit from our local fire fighters this who just happen to be two of our dads in our classroom! Firefighter Russ and Firefighter Sean came to our school to talk to us about fire safety and we even got to tour the fire truck!
