in the hall without being asked.

Voyagers and Kindergarten (Williams) Played in the Surprising April Snow
Undeterred by the snow/slush on Thursday 4-7-2016, these students headed out for a romp during recess. The school's snow tubes had already been stored for the winter, or it would have been tempting to put them out. Warm temperatures melted off half the snow by midday.

Oranges are for snacks today
Oranges are an excellent source of vitamin C. They are also a very good source of dietary fiber. In addition, oranges are a good source of B and A vitamins, and minerals calcium, copper, and potassium.
It is healthier to consume oranges as a whole fruit rather than in the form of orange juice. Whole fruits contain more fiber and less sugar and calories than juice -a win for your health.
