Grace:
Recently some kids finished an essay. Now, they are writing blogs. Hugh is keeping you up to date on the school's sports, Cassandra with Student Council, Derek with Peace Scholars, Shane with the Saturday night game, Mackenzie with vocabulary, and Miah is keeping us up to date on class essays. More people will start making blogs soon! Thanks and that's all the news for now!

Cassandra:
Today, January 31st, was Student Council voting day! From Mrs. McGuigan/Carr's classroom the runners are Cassandra (me), Julia, Max and Mackenzie. What we had to do to run was we had to write a speech and recite it in front of the class. Surprisingly, no one made a poster or buttons or anything to give out. The responsibilities of Student Council are: the first term (September-January) does a Thanksgiving food drive and a Christmas wish list drive. The second term (February - June) sells kisses for Valentine's Day. Both terms do school store to help raise money for the fifth grade Environmental Camp.

Derek:
Mrs. Testa-Cutting comes into our class on Mondays to tell us about Peace Scholars. We have a 58 page workbook on it. Peace Scholars is about win/win, lose/win, lose/lose, and win/lose and how to get along with others. We learn to care for friends, family and even teachers. We spend 30 minutes with this each Monday.
