A Very Generous Group

The 9-1 boys have amazed us all. We had hoped to reach 300 cans today, and exceeded it with 370. WOW!
Dr. Trusty made an annoucement this morning and left us a note this afternoon to let us know how excited he was.
The food was boxed up and transported to Paul's Place this afternoon...the entire lower school has a lot to be proud of!

Day Two of Food Drive

The boys have ALREADY exceeded our class goal of 90 cans.
We are up to 131 today!
We have raised the bar to 210, hoping to feed even more families by Friday. This goal was selected as Dr. Trusty mentioned his former 4th grade class collected 200 cans every year. The 9-1 boys are quite excited for our newest challenge! Thank you to all of the families who have already contributed. Check back for updates as our numbers grow.

Reading Buddies Meet Again!

Our reading buddies read a story about different families in class on Thursday. We then made portraits of all of our families, discussing and showing all of the similarities and differences amongst them.
We connected all of them together as a quilt, hung outside of Ms. Clark's room, showing how all of our unique families look like a beautiful patchwork quilt.

Math Class Dances to Rounding

Today Ms. Gentry's math class showed off their dance moves to a new rounding song. The song, "Slide to the side" reminds us to look for a "five" to determine whether we should round up or down. They did a fantastic job!

Math Bake Sale

Our Math group was busy selling our s'mores last Wednesday. We had decided on a price per s'more, and were busy creating change and passing out s'mores to the hungry ninth age students.

....and Dr. Martire!


We spent the next day calculating our results!

We earned a total of $27.03!

We are eager to use that money to purchase donations for the canned food drive in November.
