Jammie Jam


On Friday we counted all the PJ's that vista 1st - 4th graders have donated throughout the month for the Jammie Jam. Our grand total was 51 cozy and comfy pairs of PJ's!! Mr. Terko spoke with all the children in the kiva and expressed how proud he was of their efforts not only with the Jammie Jam but the food donations for the Williston Food Shelf and the money for Pennies for Peace. Awesome work Vistonians!! The spirit of giving abounds in Vista!!

Creativity

Many hands make light work! We certainly were busy the day we created our new December calendar. The children learned the "trick" to creating fabulous paper snowflakes and within 15 minutes our room looked as if a storm had passed by. Many of the children continue to create these wonderful works of art every morning. The look on their faces as they open each snowflake to see the pattern they have made is priceless.
Our trip to the Flynn Theatre to see the Vermont Symphony Orchestra was a huge success. Many thanks to the parents who helped shepard the children from the bus to their seats in the 1st row of the balcony, yikes! Not quite sure which they enjoyed more, their seats or the show. Here are the pictures that Tammy Jadus shared.
