THE SHOES MADE THEIR WAY AROUND THE LIBRARY AND DOWN SEVERAL HALLWAYS!!  Thanks to everyone who donated, we received approximately 1000 pairs!

Soles for Souls

The 6th grade is hosting a shoe drive to help the children in Haiti…..take a look at the power point presentation above that explains it all.  There are several drop off boxes around the school. In the library, when a pair of shoes are donated, we put up a paper shoe on the wall. We are trying to make the shoes walk around the library at least once!

Please bring your unwanted and gently worn shoes to school.

Six Word Memoirs

by 6th grade

6th graders worked on composing six word memoirs in the library several weeks ago. They have now added a visual to their memoir and compiled them in a powerpoint presentation. 
Take a look at what each one of our insightful, humorous and deep thinkers wrote.
