Mrs. Duguay had a good discussion with Owen, Caden, Sarah and Olivia about whether cell phones should be allowed in schools.

(Mother/Son event being planned for the spring, stay tuned!) Big & Little Buddy Happenings! Always a favorite time of the week: when our 6th graders get together with their Little Buddies in Kindergarten. This program has been going on for over 15 years! A 6th grader is matched up with a Kindergartener(s) at the beginning of the school year and they get together weekly. This last week they got to play parachute games in the gym and make snow clouds outside. This is a bond that lasts throughout the years and when the Big Buddies are Seniors in High School, their Little Buddies have become Big Buddies in 6th grade with their own Little Buddy. The Seniors are invited back at the end of the school year to visit with their Little Buddy and pictures are taken where there’s a Senior, their Little Buddy 6th Grader and their Little Buddy Kindergartener in the picture! 2014-2015 Student/Faculty Staff Recognition The theme of our weekly Student/Staff Recognition Program is “Growing with God.” A student from each classroom and a staff member are recognized at our weekly Friday Morning Assembly at 7:45 A.M.
