NOVEMBER NEWS!!


October flew out the window in a flurry of field trips, pumpkin estimation/measurement centers, Halloween activities, and last but not least a spooky party with loads of delicious treats!
Three cheers for all our amazing volunteers! Thank you for your enthusiasm, time and yummy party snacks!

2J was incredibly proud to reach our classroom fundraising goal for UNICEF.
$355.65 was raised to help students in Africa. Students and parents worked together to show how we can make a difference for children in our world.
Our work for UNICEF was also a wonderful lead into Remembrance Day. We reflected about what peace means for us. And we decided that there are some things you need just to stay alive: food, water, a place to live, clothes to keep warm, help when you are ill or injured.
Peace is having the things you need. Thank you boys and girls for making a difference in our world!!!
