Winterfest

As part of our focus on school-wide Responsive Classroom impelementation, we held a celebration near the end of the second trimester to celebrate students who had made positive behavioral choices during the months of December and January. Students spent part of their day playing tug 'o war in the snow, snowshoeing, participating in sled races and other outdoor activities. The other part of the day was spent enjoying a delicious winter snack while watching a movie. Here are some pictures from our fun day!
