Santa reads to kids at Columbia Elementary It was a family night of fun at Columbia Elementary School and there was a big surprise in store for students. The school held its annual book fair this week for all the little bookworms who love to read.

This year, Santa Claus made a surprise appearance and he spent an hour or so reading to students and their families. Mr. Claus also brought hot cocoa to share with everyone while he read to them.

Thanks to Santa and the PTA for making this a great kick off to the holiday season and an inspiration for students to keep up their love for reading.

Golden Fields Elementary Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, Turkey Tunes, and Pretty Cool Parade

Posted on

It was a day devoted to celebrating Thanksgiving in a big way at Golden Fields Elementary School. First, students dressed up for a fun turkey trot up and down the halls of the school. Then they took the stage and sang their little hearts out as part of a Turkey Tunes assembly. Finally, the students had more fun in their very own version of a Golden Fields’ Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Everyone hand-made balloon characters and creative themes to float down the halls as part of the parade.

We are thankful for all of the teachers and staff who helped to make the Golden Fields Thanksgiving celebration one to remember.

Happy Thanksgiving from Golden Fields Elementary School!

South Valley School Gym Turned into Turkey Bowling Alley for Thanksgiving Party Fun

Posted on

There were lots of frozen turkeys taking a tumble down the gymnasium floor at the South Valley School. That’s because the gym was turned into a temporary turkey bowling alley for the school’s Thanksgiving party. The party was complete with music from a DJ and students doing the “Strike Dance” and the “Spare Dance.” They all cheered each other on in the bowling event and made fun memories they will take to the Thanksgiving turkey table.

Happy Thanksgiving from students and staff at the South Valley School.
