CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations Mrs. Hurley's class! We had perfect attendance for the 100th. Day!
Thank you administration for rewarding us with a pizza party.

February is African American History Month.

Awards Assembly for 2nd quarter is this week.

We are studying Arizona State Symbols and the Saguaro Cactus Blossom is Arizona's state flower. During the storm a couple of weeks ago, our saguaro cactus almost fell over on our house. The "cactus doctor" came to fix it and had to cut off a couple of its arms due to its weight. I brought in 4, two inch slices of the arms so the students could see how suculant and moist the inside was. We will keep an eye on them to see what happens next!
