SAS Elementary Kindergarteners Attend Dasher's Magical Gift

On Thursday, December 8th, 2016 the Kindergarteners went to see the ballet, “Dasher’s Magical Gift.” The students were able to experience a live performance up close and personal. This interactive play taught the students about the true meaning of Christmas: that family and friends are our true gifts that we should cherish. This is a message that we are constantly trying to convey with our students in the classroom. During the play, the students saw comical penguins, friendly reindeer, hardworking elves, and Santa Clause himself. In each of the Kindergarten classrooms, we are learning about holidays around the world. Not only was this ballet about Christmas, which is widely celebrated in the United States, but during the play, one of the main characters said, “Merry Christmas! And Happy Hanukkah! And Happy Kwanza! And Happy Diwali!” We will be learning about, or have already learned about each of these celebrations from around the world. The children had so much fun, and were so happy and excited that they got to see Santa!

On Thursday, December 22nd, 2016, SAS Elementary held the December Student of the Month ceremony. The character trait for the month of December was Caring/Compassion. Several students were recognized for their compassion that they show in school on a daily basis. In addition, the classes with the most DOJOs were able to face off in a competition to carry a cotton ball across the line using only a straw. These classes received a twin dress down day for their hard work! Congratulations to all students who were recognized-keep up the great work!
