Share Fair yesterday was hit! The kids all did such a good job on their boards, as well as presenting to the other classrooms. It was so special watching the kids ask each other about their projects and seeing them be so interested in what the other had to say! And what a great turnout last night from the families! We also went above and beyond our goal for the food drive with a total of 2040 items!! Way to go, Panther Community!! Have a great mid-winter break, you've earned it!
Tomorrow is the last day for food drive donations and we're almost at our goal!!Don't forget that the two classes that collect the most get an ice cream party!
We are having quite the Valentine's Day here at Southwood! Mrs. Bubnick's 4th-grade class started the day with a special breakfast, while Mrs. Emerson's 3rd graders "charted" their hearts during math! Mrs. Markquart's kindergarteners did Valentine's rotations during their morning, and there was a surprise festive table set up at lunch!
