Last week at our first all-school gathering of the year, Tr. Devon's fourth- and fifth-graders led us in a conversation about what a great classmate is, does, says, and is not. Everyone shared their ideas on these qualities using post-it-notes, which were plastered on the wall for all to see and share. It was great conversation to start the school year!

| THANKS!
Thank you to General Committee members for another great hayride!
Thanks also to Preschool parents who came onto campus for Back to School Nights!
Last but definitely not least, thank you to the fourth- and fifth-grade class for participating in last week's All-School Gathering and helping us all learn what it takes to be a good classmate.
