Message from a Penbrooke Meadows Teacher, December 14/14:

So taking the gifts was such an experience to the home I went to - I actually was emotional afterwards driving home.

When they opened the door there were 4 kids and 1 baby.  They had a small little tree that they had put lights on and it was sitting on top of a side coffee table.  The kids’faces were so happy - they lit up.  They started jumping up and down and saying Thank you Thank you Thank you..!  They couldn't believe that we just kept bringing more bags in and more....  We told them that they were to save these for Christmas to open...so they said they are going to put them under the little tree and they started to make a pile.  They commented on the wrapping paper and how special it made them feel that they were wrapped.  Mom gave us a big hug and said Thank you So much.  The kids were so excited and were waving to us when we left. 

There was no feeling like it.  Your families and staff have made SUCH a difference to our school and our families through your generosity.  This was only one family that I delivered and it didn't leave my mind all weekend. To see this family filled with such joy was amazing.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Cranston School and Ms. Rauser.  We love you. xx

A few students in Mrs. Cooper's class are bringing home their journals to finish their True Meaning of the Holidays writing.

Mrs. Cooper's class got new home reading books for today.  Both classes can keep their home reading books over the holidays.

We had caroling this afternoon - ask your child who the star jib jabs were today.


Our school's lost and found items will be donated to the 'Diabetes Association' at the end of the schools day on WEDNESDAY. We will take students by the lost and found over the next two days. If you would like to stop in after school to check it out with your child as well...please feel free! 

REMINDER THAT THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL IS THURSDAY!
