Today was an amazing day at Gilbert Primary School for our Scouts! We were able to share about our school, celebrate leadership at our Shout-Out Parties, and collaborate with teammates!
At each Shout-Out Party, our Scouts were surprised with snowy weather, cookies & cocoa, and Olaf! Our Lexington One School Board Chair, Debbie Knight, was able to visit today and in addition to visiting classrooms, seeing some amazing learning, and seeing students use our eSpark program, she received a grand welcome through a "noodle tunnel" into the 2nd grade party.
On another happy note from this week, Mrs. H and Mrs. Baker have been doing auditions for our 2nd grade play and sharing some of the audition clips with me. Each year, our 2nd graders perform a play in late spring. This year, our Scouts will become dalmatians in Disney's 101 Dalmatians. They are amazing!! Our students have blown me away with what they are able to do, even at the audition point, of this process. This is only possible because they feel safe to become the characters, which can be scary even as an adult! Can't wait to see what they do after weeks of collaboration and practice.
To wrap up this week, we have a family health night planned. As our Scouts and their families join us for Movin' in the Moonlight on Friday night, they will be engaged in yoga, wii, jump rope, taste-testing, zumba, human hungry-hungry-hippos, and more! Students will also walk away with a NEW book for their home library and a special treat!
It is a pure JOY to do what I love each day!
Mrs. Apperson
