Community Involvement


One of the great things about being a part of a small community is the level of involvement that our students and the community can have together. One of the things that the school does on a fairly regular basis is to go to the Senior Citizen group that eats lunch at the Parrish Hall on Thursday. In the past, we've sent band and other individual classrooms to perform for the group.

Yesterday, the 5th grade class went and performed for the Senior Citizens. Each 5th grader researched a famous historical American and wrote a story about their lives. They dressed up as their historical figure and performed their story for the group. The kids did a tremendous job...from the research, to the writing, to the performance...I was really impressed. Kudos to a great class of students, to their teacher Mrs. Fanz, and to Mr. Scott, a community member who comes in regularly and works with the kids on writing. The hard work they put into the presentation was evident yesterday during their performances. Congratulations to everyone involved on a job well done!!!
