Learning Together and Giving Thanks

Primary School

On Nov. 18, Primary School Gathering was transformed into a Ceremony of Gratitude. K-2 students were read The Thankfulness Book by Todd Parr. Afterward, students paired off to share their thoughts with each other. Third through 5th graders wrote down their reflections of gratefulness on cards that will be displayed throughout the building. >>>

Middle School

The Middle School Cook-Off is a different approach to celebrate the holiday season. Students are hard at work in their Delta Groups researching recipes featuring apples, this year’s secret ingredient. Last Tuesday, they did their best to impress celebrity chefs with their creations to win the Golden Spatula. “Thanksgiving is about togetherness,” Leslie Sinsay says. “The Cook-Off is definitely an example of togetherness, collaboration, and team building.”

After much anticipation, the results of the cook off are:

Clean up winners: 1st place–Michelle, 2nd place–Lee.
Team Spirit winners: 1st place–Becky, 2nd place–Coleman
Creativity winners: 1st place–Dave, 2nd place–Sarah S.
Taste winners: 1st place–Leslie, 2nd place–Matt
Presentation winner: 1st place–Sara H., 2nd place–LaMecca

Pre-Primary School

Pre-Primary students come together Nov. 24 for their annual Thanksgiving Feast. Each class made a dish to share with each other. While the feast was for children only, parents were invited to join the group for Singing Meeting in the Willow Room.
