Gingerbread Houses

Wow, twenty-three 4th graders had ton's of  fun creating beautiful gingerbread houses.  They will be displayed at the "Festival of Trees" this next week/end, December 8th and 9th.  

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Wishing each of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

I am most thankful for:

• My husband, Patrick of 42 years
• My family of 14, who will be sitting around our Thanksgiving table, plus spending four days with us gathering as family
• For the opportunity to have "the best job in the world" teaching 23 awesome, 4th graders

I am blessed!

Wow, Second Quarter already!
