Before the break, Mrs. Alexander's kindergarten class spent two weeks "traveling the world". Some of the special events they did were - transforming themselves into elves, engaging in a video call with Ms Sparks while she was at a Christmas market in Belgium, having Jammie day, and sipping on hot cocoa made by Mrs. Wolfe (thank you, Mrs. Wolfe)
"Cheers to a new year full of new opportunities! May this year bring you continued success and the chance to reach new heights." "Wishing our students, staff, families and community all the best in 2025."
The holidays may be winding down, but let's take a moment to look back at some of the festive fun before the break! From Grinch and Whoville sightings to a special visit from Santa himself, we were even joined by a few reindeer. It’s been a season full of holiday cheer and unforgettable moments!
Wishing our students, staff, families, and community a very Happy Holiday.
The K-5 Emotional Disabilities program at Hendry Park spread holiday cheer this year with their 3rd annual project-based learning service project: a Christmas gift drive. With the support of students, staff, and families, they collected 105 gifts, which were donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana. This heartwarming initiative not only brought joy to children in need but also reinforced the spirit of giving and community involvement. #SmallCommunitiesBigOpportunities
As the semester comes to a close, we bid farewell to three incredible exchange students who have joined us from Brazil, Germany, and South Korea. To celebrate their time here, the Steuben County Quilt Society lovingly crafted beautiful quilts for each of them as a special memento of their journey. We wish these students the best of luck as they return home, but we hope they’ll always carry a little piece of Angola in their hearts.
