Fourth grade is leading our learning about Kwanzaa! It’s a 7 day celebration of African-American culture with each day representing a different principle of family, community and culture. Each principle is represented by green, red and black candles.
Kindergarten has been decking the halls with the traditions of Christmas! Check out their artwork and information about religious and secular aspects of this winter holiday.

Happy Diwali: Festival of Lights! Our Fifth grade classes collaborated on their research to create informational posters, decorations and lights to celebrate this holiday from India.
Elementary has been learning about winter holidays from around the world. Each class has researched a different holiday, created decorations and provided information for all of us to learn more. It’s like a winter holiday museum in our elementary hallway! Today’s holiday is Diwali, a five day Festival of Lights from India, as presented by Fifth Grade.
