We are spreading holiday cheer with our two "elves" that have been spotted around SRI. If found, students return them to the office for a prize.

Mrs. Gerling and Ms. Coleman's class went digging for artifacts....with cookies!


Mr. Hepner and Mrs. Harris' classes earned a reward of their choice and they decided on a PJ day. Don't they look cozy!



This week in Library, students participated in the Hour of Code.




The Hour of Code is a global initiative to support Computer Science Education Week and introduce millions of students to one hour of computer science and computer programming. All students (PreK-12) can participate!
Visit https://hourofcode.com/us/learn, pick an activity and spend at least one hour coding a solution.
Let us know when you have completed an Hour of Code! Students, teachers and families are encouraged to share a photo holding the Hour of Code certificate sign. Download your copy here: https://5il.co/299hj

🌟Celebrating the Spirit of Giving🌟
Yesterday, through our wonderful partnership with the JCA Foundation, select students were provided with a sprinkle of magic this holiday season through the 18th annual Kidz Kruz event held at Oscar Smith Middle School. ✨
The school was transformed into a ❄ Winter Wonderland that included group sing-alongs, festive crafts, a limbo party with DJ Jay Bondz, and heartwarming visits with Santa. 🎶 Before the event students were asked to create a wish list of items from Walmart. Our teachers then shopped and presented those gifts to students! 🎉 Students also hopped on chartered buses to experience the Holiday Lights in Virginia Beach.
Computer Science Education Week begins today!
The annual call to action inspires students to learn computer science and celebrate the contributions of students, teachers, and partners to the field.

Ms. Brennan-Webb's class and Mrs. Gettle designed and built houses to try and withstand a storm surge and heavy winds from a "hurricane". Here's a look at the houses they created.










Ms. Brennan-Webb's class had hands on learning with weather today in their inflatable air house. Students were able to visualize high pressure air masses and low pressure air masses.


Our Instructional Suite has a new small group area! Ms. Sorey, our reading specialist, is taking advantage of this great spot for learning!

Flashback to when Ms. Warner and Mrs. Brittingham's class built model LEGO Windmills!
