 Red Ribbon Week was a huge success. Students and staff dressed as construction workers, wore camouflage, dressed all in black, dressed all in red, and signed our "drug free contract" one brick at a time. All of these activities were a reminder for all of us to live our life without drugs. We also helped other children by collecting 418 books for a local children's home. Together we can build a future without drugs. |

 Mrs. Poland, PK teacher, Xander, Jacob, and Bryan decided they wanted to build a train. They put on their safety goggles and hard hat and headed to the construction center. The boys problem solved throughout the whole process and were able to give each other ideas to construct the train. Mrs. Poland guided them by asking them questions. After almost an hour with the train falling apart over and over, they accomplished their task by reworking the parts. "All Aboard at LaRue Miller!" |
