Phy Ed Today

We are going to the homecoming pep fest in the high school this afternoon. A tradition was started where the seniors give the kindergartners an Irish Hanky as a symbol to carry on their Irish Spirit. It's a pretty cool thing to witness and it's sure to be exciting, loud, and fun!

   ~Yesterday, Officer Coon, Mrs. Marsicek (Social Work Intern), Mrs. Weninger, Mrs. Jerman (Irish Support Teacher) and Mrs. Reedy visited with the kids about being safe at school. 

 
~The scrapbook page is due Thursday, September 18.
~ The kids have been learning so much about kindergarten and it's nice to see them settling into their new routine!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
