We had the best time with our fifth grade book buddies! Each first grader was paired with a fifth grade "book buddy" today. The kids had a ball! It was so fun to watch our sweet first graders interact and read with the awesome fifth graders. It was really cute! We will meet with our book buddies every other Friday. Next visit we will get to go visit them in their classroom! 

Spirit week changes

Hey everyone! There is a change in our spirit week ...

We will still celebrate the 100th day of school on Thursday but we won't be dressing up like 100 year old ladies and men. The teachers decided it would be hard to participate in the pep rally dressed up :) We will still be celebrating the 100th day in the class but instead dressed up in our SGES spirit wear! So Thursday wear your favorite SGES shirt and get ready for a fun day celebrating the 100th day AND showing our SGES spirit! GO DRAGONS!


Spirit Week :
Monday- comfy day
Tuesday-Cowboy/cowgirl day
Wednesday-Wacky day
Thursday-SGES Spirit day
Friday-House colors

Thanks everybody! -Shannon

WONDERFUL Wednesday
