Mrs. Lively's first graders celebrated Peep day today. Students made their Peep a home, graphed the colors of peeps in the classroom, and then read them to sleep.





Help us wish our Student Teachers from North School well on their last day. We have been blessed to have your time and talents this semester. Best of luck at your new schools in the fall.
