Yesterday our 4th graders spent time learning about Native American Culture at Carnegie hall.
After learning about recycling, Mrs. Workman's first graders brought in projects they made using recycled items. They shared their projects with the class, telling them the materials used and what they plan to do with their projects. There were bird feeders, bird houses, piggy banks, robots and so much more. Great job kiddos!
Thank you to our amazing volunteers for coming out this morning to our Volunteer Breakfast. You are all a key piece to our puzzle.
