NEW TURF!
During the January 25th weekend, we received new turf on the playground. This is exciting because we previously had rocks. Our students are loving the new greenery! Some students were spotted making grass angels, rolling around, and doing cartwheels. A BIG thank you to our school board member, Mr. Severance.

Here are a few ways to donate:
HELP SAVE CALIFORNIA!!!
CALIFORNIA NEEDS OUR HELP! Gusty winds combined with persistently dry weather conditions are increasing extreme fire threats in the L.A region. Here are some reasons why you should help California. Number 1: If you lived in L.A right now, your house might be burning right now. Number 2: How would you feel if you had to evacuate and when you come back home your house is gone? You would feel very sad, wouldn’t you Number 3: There are thousands of people losing their lives. We should care for them like they are our family. Everyone on this Earth is like our family and we don’t want them to die.

From Beijing to Havana, the holiday known as the Spring Festival in China, Tet in Vietnam and Seollal in Korea is a major festival celebrated in many countries. Wednesday marked the start of the Year of the Snake, one of 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac.
The Lunar New Year is a time to wish for good luck and prosperity in the coming year for oneself and others.
The Chiefs and Eagles will face off in the 59th Super Bowl on February 9th in New Orleans. Who will you be cheering for? We hope the commercials are good.
