Things Going On
- Castle Time on Friday was great — it was fun to hear all the different ways our students said we can show good sportsmanship. The Brunelli Effect: Christmas Edition added a lot of laughter, teamwork, and festive energy. Such a fun way to end the week and see our kids learning and growing together! 🎄✨ Kudos to all the castles for the amazing Christmas trees on the doors throughout the building! Every group put so much creativity into their design. The judges selected the top three: Mrs. Arnold’s castle on the lunchroom door, Mrs. Schuh’s castle on her door, and Mrs. Volson’s castle on her classroom door. Great job, everyone! 🎄🏆
