Holiday Cards for Military Challenge
The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) partnered with the New Hampshire Department of Education to spread holiday cheer through the Holiday Cards for our Military Challenge. The goal of the Holiday Cards for our Military Challenge was the collection and delivery of personalized, signed expressions of respect, caring, and gratitude to United States troops, veterans, and service families. Personalized and signed cards reflect genuine support and caring, respect, and appreciation of our military heroes during the winter holiday season. Our students and staff created these personalized cards to send out this November.

A Sweet Halloween🎃
Adventures of Homer the Gnome 🍄
The children went on a Scavenger Hunt outside and I got to go. We collected all types of items that were on our list of “Things To Collect in Fall”. I found a large pine cone and now I’m all sticky from the sap. When we returned to the classroom, we emptied our collection bags and boy did we collect a lot of fall items.
