Elves Club Workers-- Well Done!

The pictures speak for themselves.  Enjoy.

Mrs. Knecht's class working with the Elves Club

Mrs. Knecht's class, along with Mrs. Tattrie and parent volunteers worked all day yesterday filling bags for needy families.  The class worked extremely hard and finished their task by 2:00 pm.  Mrs. Knecht was thrilled at how well everyone worked for this cause. Bravo!

And what do you want for Christmas?

Breakfast with Santa went really well this morning.  A big thank you to the Starbucks staff for cooking the pancakes and providing coffee and hot chocolate.  Thanks also to Super Valu for providing the food and a thank you to Extra Foods, who will be covering the cost of the photos-- we will distribute the photos when the students return from the Christmas holidays.

Thanks also to our photographer Carl Bush.  Thank you to Santa-- we appreciate you taking time to visit with us before you head towards the South Pole!  Merry Christmas to you and Mrs. Claus!

We had an assembly today to thank Mrs. Sali for her wonderful contribution to GES. Half of us were in Canada's red & white, while the other half wore Australian green and yellow.

Thank you Mrs. Sali-- may your journey home Down Under be safe.  We wish you and your husband, Roy, all the best.  Good luck in your return to your school in Queensland!

Centre Time in Ms. Taylor's Class

I  covered Ms. Taylor's class for most of the afternoon, as she was attending a meeting. After buddy reading with Mrs. Fitchell's Grafe 5 students they worked at various centres.  They worked really well together.

I will post more pictures on Ms. Taylor's Blog-- be sure to check it out.
