Just a reminder that I have offered a Thanksgiving Principal’s Challenge for all of our Sea Turtles this week!
🍁 Challenge Details:
Grades Pre-K, K, and 1: Draw a picture of your Thanksgiving traditions or how you spent your week off.
Grades 2–5: Write a short essay describing your Thanksgiving traditions and how you enjoyed your break.
All entries should be brought back to school on the first day after the break.
Every student who participates will receive a sweet treat from Mrs. Hart! 🍬🐢
I can’t wait to see their beautiful pictures and read their thoughtful essays.
Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving week with your families!
Peace • Love • Turtles,
Principal Hart
