GRM students worked together to decorate brown paper bags and fill them with doggy treats. $300 was raised to benefit the The Humane Society of Port Jervis/Deerpark. Pictured are board members Carey Connelly and Jodi Merusi accepting the donation on behalf of the Humane Society.
Students in kindergarten through 3rd grade played winter themed games to build their literacy skills. These games were counting words in sentences, reading nonsense words, building magic "e" words, and recognizing words with digraphs.
'Tis the season to spread joy! The 6th grade students had an opportunity to spread joy to our service members. 200 holiday cards were written out to soldiers serving all over the world and from all branches of the military. All cards, stamps, and stickers were donated by ECSD staff members and their families. It was wonderful to see how excited the children were to be able to brighten the spirits of someone serving away from home this holiday season.
6th grade shared snacks and stories with the PreK class! A great time was had by all as students took turns reading holiday and winter stories! The 6th graders were gracious hosts and excellent role models.
OM Update:
Our Mackenzie grades 4 & 5 OM Team is busy constructing scenery for their "Old Man and the Sea" skit. A lot of measuring, researching, and planning is going into creating their boat. While our 3rd grade OM Team is working together to construct, decorate and begin eating a Gingerbread House before winter break!
