Principal Madden’s Weekly Update—Week of December 9

Greetings!

Our Student Leadership Team wants to remind you that they have organized a “Little Toy Drive”. The flyer with information is attached. Let me know if you have any questions.

This week’s photos show Mrs. Pefaur’s class at Morning Meeting. Morning Meeting, which is part of Responsive Classroom, provides an opportunity for all of our students to be greeted by name every day and to have opportunities to share and feel part of a strong classroom community.

Another photo shows some of our kindergarten musicians learning the ukulele in music class. They sounded pretty good!

Other photos show some fun in the snow. We always love getting outside at R.K. Finn Ryan Road School!
