In the spirit of love and generosity, we are so grateful to our families who contributed to our community service project. Ms. Melissa and Ms. Nancy made two trips to the Henderson Animal Care and Control with an abundance of food, blankets, paper towels, and pet toys.
The staff at the shelter were impressed with the amount of donations and the materials were exactly what they needed! We toured the facility and saw many cats and dogs that looked so sweet and eager to have a life with a family. We were impressed with how clean and well cared for the animals appeared.
If you are thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, this is a good place to begin your search. The Henderson Animal Care and Control is located at 300 E. Galleria (Henderson, NV 89011 702-267-4972).
Our Valentine Day celebration was sweetened by the making of heart shaped pancakes, strawberries, and whip cream.
Thanks to Karri (Gabrielle’s mom) and Mae (Vivian’s mom) for mixing and cooking the pancakes for us.
Students came to class wearing their comfy pajamas and spent the morning doing Montessori work in between playing games, doing crafts, and exchanging valentines.
We also appreciate all the families who drove and chaperoned our Kindergarten students on their field trip to the Estes McDoniel marine lab.

It is such a great opportunity for our students to be hosted by Estes McDoniel 5th grade students and to learn about marine animals that were discussed in class. We know that pairing tangible experiences with book learning really makes the difference in the level of understanding and engagement for our students.
