A time honored tradition in Kindergarten, gingerbread houses! This year we added a new tradition twist; we asked 5th grade students to help assist our younger foxes.
Playful learning filled our school today. From a holiday market, to passport travel around the world, a jingle bell run through the halls of the school, Colonial American games and more. We hope each fox and their den have a wonderful winter break!
The Wildlife Center of Virginia visited our school today. Students learned what to do if they find a wild animal in need, met some rescued animals and asked many great questions. All students who attended today's assemblies earned this reward through good behavior.
