We are never to old to hear or read a good story!

MCDOWELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL pupils receive traditional gifts

Second-graders at McDowell Elementary School received a loving gift! It's a tradition. For 44 years, Mrs. Osborne's mother-in-law has hand crocheted scarves for her students. Now that she's 95 she gets one of her younger friends (just 75 years old) to help her. Bless their sweet hearts. Aren't Mrs. Osborne's kiddies adorable?

TAYLOR PARKS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL started the season early

Mrs. Ambrosia’s kindergarten at Taylor Parks Elementary School got into the holiday spirit early in December.

The students were surprised with a coloring book and bag of goodies from a peer who would be out of town for their class Christmas party. The children were so thankful!

Also, on December 7, the class made a trip to see Santa. All the children rode on a bus to the Heritage Park to Santa’s Magic Forest. They got to enjoy the beautiful displays and a visit with Santa. Happy holiday season!
