Mrs. DeHaven, Assistant Principal, read “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” by Dr. Seuss to every classroom. She stepped into full Grinch mode with her voice and animations - the students loved it! After she finished the story, Mrs. DeHaven handed out mini candy canes. You can listen to her read a couple pages at https://youtu.be/F1W1BbvyI9o.
Classrooms K04 and 202 looked very cozy for yesterday’s “Cozy Sweater Dress-Up Day”!

A message from our PTO: Thank you Discovery community for making this year’s Danceathon fundraiser a success. Because of your generous support, over $46,000 was raised for Discovery! From community events, to field trip bussing, to classroom grants supporting curriculum - students’ educational experiences are enhanced by every dollar that is donated. After the Holiday break, we are having popcorn parties for every classroom to celebrate and to thank students. Thank you again, Discovery community!

Monday was National Special Education Day; and although we are late, we couldn’t go without acknowledging our AMAZING Special Education Team! Their dedication and drive do not go unnoticed. We are grateful to have a SPED Team that not only works together, but also shares the same goals to help students succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. You are appreciated SPED Team!
Before Thanksgiving break, classroom 206 students learned how to make butter! They poured the correct amount of ingredients into jars. Then students took turns shaking the jars until the butter was completely done. It was a lot of work shaking the jars, but they had so much fun! Once the butter was done, they got to enjoy it on some crackers and bread. Yum!
