Fireman Visists on Teacher Workday

A big thank you to Jamil Hudson, (Ms. Katie's brother) for coming to share

with the kids on TWD. He works for the Stallings & Charlotte Fire Departments.

and had a lot to teach the kids about fire safety. We even got to learn about the

protective gear he wears, which he demonstrated as well.

Kids enjoyed creating edible art during this week's theme, including traditional gingerbread houses, tootsie roll roses and popcorn Christmas trees

with gumdrops, m&ms, pretzels and all sorts of candy. The creativity was delightful and they especially liked devouring their artwork!
