Miss Leloux's 3rd graders went to Dow Rummel Assisted Living on October 20th to visit the residents. This has been a previous All City tradition that had been interrupted the past few years due to Covid so we are excited to get to go back! Residents and students had an awesome time hanging up door decorations and visiting with residents in their rooms while dressed up in their Halloween costumes. After that, students read to the residents. We had a great time volunteering and can't wait to go back!

Student Council elections were held on Wednesday, October 18th! Students were excited to check in to vote, receive a ballot, and cast their vote in the voting booth! Thank you to Rob Hollan for organizing and running Student Council! Congrats to all of the winners! All candidates should be proud of their efforts as it takes a lot of courage to say a speech in front of their peers, present a poster, and run for election! Great job to all!
