PICTURES GRADES 1-3 IN THE CAFETERIA  It was amazing to see the cafeteria full as it has not been for two years. Smiles on faces could be seen everywhere. There was time to socialize at luncgh and feel somewhat normal. Link to 28 Pictures. TAPPING MAPLE TREES IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL As mentioned in the previous announcements, the PreK and kindergarten learning communities are tapping maple trees close to the school building. The purpose of this exercise is to give our youngest students a connection to the process of making maple syrup, an agricultural practice important to our local economy. 3-15-2022 Link to 8 Pictures taken by Dreamers PreK/K teacher, Ms. Brogle Link to 37 Pictures taken by Dreamers Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Dupont LAST DAY OF SNOW TUBING THIS YEAR?
