 STEAM with Mr. Brown 

  
NO Phy Ed or Music today as we will be attending the high school pepfest.

We are attending the homecoming pepfest in the high school this afternoon. A few years ago, a tradition was started where each high school senior gives a kindergartner an Irish Hanky as a symbol to carry on their Irish Spirit. It's a pretty cool thing to witness!
