The Big Chill
Mrs. Howell's first graders are preparing for "The Big Chill." The weather reporters at WICE are advising people to bundle up and make sure they are ready for the Arctic blast! The students have worked so hard preparing for a test, the big basketball game, and the Chorus production. When the buses are gassed up, the Headmaster must make a decision to carry on with the day's planned activities or cancel school. Meanwhile, students and teachers contemplate the idea of having a couple of days off...sleeping late, watching movies, having sleepovers and last, but certainly not least, PLAYING IN THE SNOW! At last, everyone agrees they are all on the same track... to enjoy their day off! Finally, the snow arrives! School is cancelled and everyone heads home to enjoy the thrill of "The Big Chill!"
To our friends in Mrs. Howell's class...we thoroughly enjoyed this fabulous, frosty tale. We would like to thank Mrs. Howell, Mrs. Aspinwall, and Mrs. Lee for their hard work with the production. Also, special thanks to all of the parents involved for their time and support and to Grayson Durham for the cute snowman cover on the program.

CLASS OF 2007 BOOK DRIVE
The senior class is collecting new and gently used books to contribute to local organizations. Books, pre-k thru high school, as well as audio books are being collected in the classrooms.
The deadline is February 28th. Each class that meets its goal will be rewarded with the opportunity to wear t-shirts for the week. Thank you for your donations!
LEARNING IS FUN WITH PUPPETS!!!
How do you make doing a book report fun? By creating puppets based on their favorite character in the book, Mrs. McCall's second graders turned an ordinary book report into something not only fun but magical! Each student made an oral presentation to the class explaining how they made their puppet. The project proved to be an inspiring way to get children excited about reading.
Great job on the puppets, Second Graders!
