Public Library Field Trip

Today, we got to visit the Southeast Branch Public Library. It was a quick 1hr tour. We were introduced to the children's library and got to check out books! We also had a read aloud session with one of the local librarians. 
All books that were checked out can be returned to any Jacksonville Public Library.


Keep Reading! :)

Please note: If you are unable to return the books to the local library, please have your child bring them back to the classroom and we will make arrangements for them to be returned. These books were checked out by the public library, we have no record of them in the classroom.

BEAM Food Drive

We would like to thank all of the families that helped donate food for our Season of Giving project this year. 
The 1st grade classes collected food for the Beach Emergency Assistance Ministy, BEAM, to stock their Food Panty this holiday season. 
We had so much food collected that every 1st grader was able to place 1-2+ items into the BEAM donation van. With 6 double classes averaging at 37 students each, let's just say we had A LOT of food :)

The BEAM staff was blown away but the turn out. BEAM serves many families in our school and neighorhood communities. We are so proud of our students for being great community contributors!

 We also had a great turn out of friends in our classroom dress up as elves.

What a fun morning :)
We had a great time! 

Thank you Chets Creek Church!!
