Each year, we challenge our students to create a disguise for Tom Turkey to keep him from being cooked for Thanksgiving! We had some great entries this year, but our top three were Parker Dressler (jailbird), Madison Hill (hunter), Ella Schwarz (Starbucks) and our overall winner was Teagan Barr (her turkey was disguised as Paco)! Great job everyone!

Today was also Custodian Appreciation Day, aka "Paco Day"! Everyone dressed like their favorite custodian - there were lots of red shirts, some overalls & jeans & the trademark red bandana! A custodian is the quiet hero of the school. Always the first to arrive each day, cleans up messes no one dares to touch & befriends everyone that passes by! Thank you to Paco for all that he does!
