Hot Air Balloon Fun!

Justin, Nicholas, Adrian, and Maxx read about hot air balloons and then wrote reports on them. We took the class down to the gym to read the reports and then launched a real (experimental) hot air balloon!

Taking the Plunge for Baby Landon

Ms. Bennett, four brave first graders and a fourth grader took a chilly plunge into Fountain Lake on Saturday.  We did this to raise money for baby Landon Shaw, who has brain cancer.  Ms. Bennett wants to say a special thank you to Evie, Nevaeh, Ramsie, Hailey, and Gracie for taking the plunge with her!  To see more about baby Landon, click here:  http://www.maryvilledailyforum.com/news-mozingo-life-profiles/athletes-firefighters-plunge-landon.
