D.A.R.E. Graduation!



The N.S.I.S. and Cecil Intermediate Sixth Grade classes enjoyed a wonderful day at Southpoint's Ice-o-plex! The event began with D.A.R.E. graduation, where winners of the essay contest and students who scored highest on the D.A.R.E. final were awarded prizes and recognized for their efforts. The rest of the afternoon was pure fun! Some students played games and soccer, while others enjoyed skating on the ice. Each student received a D.A.R.E. t-shirt, pin, and certificate signifying successful completion of the program. Enjoy the video! Also, have a great holiday weekend! We will see you on Tuesday!

Special Visit - Last McD's Cafe


Today, at McD's Cafe, our class was fortunate to receive a visit from a special group of students and their enthusiastic teacher. Jonathan's mom is a high school Marketing teacher at Trinity School District in Washington. Her students work on creating their own children's storybook project which they present in the form of a power point presentation. The stories are very well done, and some contain illustrations by the student authors and moving animations. Our students thoroughly enjoyed the stories and were able to judge the stories with rubrics of their own.
We hope that you enjoy the video of the activity!

Tomorrow is our D.A.R.E. graduation at the Southpoint Ice-o-plex. Students are permitted to use their own skates, but they must be brought to school in a bag. When the students arrive tomorrow morning, their D.A.R.E. shirts will be on their desks. We're looking forward to this fun day!
