This week, our students honored Constitution Day by learning about our Constitution and our country. It was reinforced to them how important it is to have a common set of expectations and laws to abide by, as it relates to our country and our classroom! This is just a snapshot of the great things our students did all around the school!

At around 9:00 this morning, we held our first fire drill of the year. Old Town Police, Fire & Rescue assisted us in the drill and all went well! It would be a great idea to talk to your student about how the drill went at school and how you would evacuate your house in the event of a fire.
