6th Grade Visit to Sonshine Academy


On Thursday, the sixth grade visited Sonshine Christian Academy, a local early childhood center, which is the sight of their service project this year. They brought fall-themed stories to read to their new young friends. Each month, we will return to share stories, songs, crafts, and games with the children and teachers. They had a great time and look forward to their next visit!

Las Posadas

Mrs. Kathol, Señora Vintimilla, and our fifth graders worked together to bring this exciting custom to our school. They began with a traditional Spanish carol, "My Burrito Sabanero," (video below) which they performed for their families, followed by churros that they made with Ms. Kathol that morning. As we wrapped up our morning, all students were surprised with piñatas in the gym. Our older students really stepped up to make this a memorable occasion for our younger students, with our fifth graders taking on a special role.
