Friday Fun

We recommend playing with puppets.
They are so much fun, trust us on that!
Sometimes we change our voices
and talk in a different way.
It makes people happy!
We also recommend loving books.
You can never read too many stories.
Creativity involves building. 
Trust us on that one!

Garden Makeover Has Begun

As "Father Time" marches on and our 
Butterfly Garden is undergoing a change.
To begin- lots of weeding.
Did we mention that the Lawrenceville
Elks Lodge donated two truckloads of mulch"
https://www.elks.org/lodges/ContactUs.cfm?LodgeNumber=1208

Trimming and removing invasive species
will improve the look and feel of our space!
Our volunteers were responsible
for an amazing "face-lift" over the area.
Did we mention Ace Hardware donated
Round-Up and Preen for use on the project?
"Team work makes the dream work."
Where would we be without our volunteers?
So many were involved:
Garth Whewell, Christy Whewell, Leann Williamson, Eric Irvin, Cindy Jones, Michael Briner, Oliver Large, Johnna Large, Scott Colvin, Jonee Colvin & Riley Colvin, Laura Zehner, Boots Zehner, Pam Preston,
and Greg Wood.

Sunday Smile

Just look at this!
Here are some of our volunteers who
do a tally of "Early Birds" in the mornings.
Our bright, eager, and
proactive volunteers are
 kids of all ages!
Weekly we average about 
85-100 "Early Birds" per day,
in the gym from 7:00 to 7:35 A.M.

Welcome to our World

We celebrate the greatness in everyone, for
it recognizes the talents and special
qualities that make them priceless.
School days "filled" with pupils who
are examples of what it means
to be a fine human beings.
They're respectful, helpful, and encouraging
to classmates as well as others 
across the entire building.
How lucky are we to see them strive
to be their "best," each and every
day that we're together.
These 4th graders bring a new meaning
to the words "humble and kind."
They make school days grand!

We had to give them a shout-out, thank you.

The Good Stuff

Nothing says "happy," like
visitors to your very own classroom.
Third graders, guests, and lots of smiles.
Did you hear about a "Grand Persons" day?
Not sure if some are known as
Oma 
which is German, or Grammie.
Others may be Grandpa or Papa!
There were many, many interviews 
discovering what we all have in common.
Giggling, lots of giggling!
We sensed a lot of pride was showing.
Important people in the lives
of our children create loving bonds.
Sharing special moments like this 
and looks such as these
made for an unforgettable morning!
Mr. Holtz welcomed one and all.
Smiles, in every corner of the classroom.
Mothers, grandmothers
great-grandmothers, delightful!
"Top 10 Reasons," loving a Grandma!
A day kids and guests shall never forget.
Did we mention the refreshments?
Did we mention the hugs?
Thank you for joining us.
