JK-2nd grade students are learning about kindness in classroom counseling this month. Each class is participating in a community project to spread kindness. JK and Kindergarten are making placemats for the January Friends Feast, 1st grade is creating ornaments to send to deployed troops, and 2nd grade is decorating coffee warmers for Union Bean. Way to go, Huskies!
I'm excited to announce that we are inviting alumni to sing with us at the HS winter concert.
