Thankful for the AM Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast this morning!

In library we used legos to create some popular Thanksgiving symbols this week as we read books about being thankful.

Our AM Kindergarten students at Cleona Elementary School are busy preparing for their Thanksgiving Feast tomorrow. Mrs. Ayer's students are working collaboratively to create a festive tablecloth, and Mrs. Hower's classroom is making silverware holders.

Dutchmen apparel store will be closing in a few days. Don't miss your chance to order some Dutchmen gear for the holiday season! https://annvillecleonafall23adidas.availstores.com/

Thank you – to the Paraprofessionals – Mrs. Bainbridge, Mrs. Horning, Mrs. Kleinfelter, Mrs. McFeaters, Mrs. Minnich and Mrs. Wagner. The time and dedication you commit to helping students succeed throughout every part of their day is essential. The time you spend working with students on skills, monitoring the lunch and recess, helping kids enter and leave the building and the work done to make this building shine is very appreciated.
