The 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students presented their holiday concert "Season of Love".
The concert included 11 songs to kick off the season as well as Recorders, Disco Dancers, Bells, Hula Dancers and a Touch of Ballet.
The students will be sharing at retirement communities and nursing homes this week too.

First graders celebrated Thanksgiving last week by learning about why Thanksgiving is celebrated. Students made a Thankful Turkey with feathers that listed things they were thankful for.
The celebration culminated with special treats and listening to classmates share about a special person. Happy (late) Thanksgiving!
