Looking for something to do over winter break to stay sharp?

Attached below is a link to the DCPS Winter Break packets.  These packets provide practice to help students to continue to learn even while home over winter break.  Many students regress over the almost three week break, so these activities help to prevent that regression.

Besides, you can only play with all the new presents for so long, right? :-)

St. Nick Visit

Thanks to one of our DCPS business partners, the PGA Tour, St. Nick visited our school this morning with backpacks full of gifts for each student.  Thanks again, you made the children's day.

St. Nick visited every classroom to read a short story to the students.
