🦃🍽️ Students in Mrs. Rogers's 6th and 7th grade classes helped prepare for the 11th Annual Thanksgiving Dinner! 🥔🍞 They prepped over 50 pounds of potatoes for mashed goodness and baked three trays of bread for homemade dressing.
The 11th Annual Thanksgiving Dinner Fundraiser will be this Thursday from 10AM-2PM in the middle school cafeteria. Dine-in or carryout options are available. All proceeds support Welcome Home: A Community for Veterans.










🎈📚 Today, our third grade students brought magic to life after reading "Balloons Over Broadway: The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy's Parade" by Melissa Street! Inspired by the book, they crafted their own colorful balloon creations and paraded them through our elementary school halls this afternoon. 🎉✨
