Spotlight of the Week
This week, Ms. Stanton's class wrapped up all their September study units and began preparing for October. For their “Fun Friday” celebration, they had a kick-off to the spooky season! Ms. Stanton's students went outside and collected fallen leaves, then painted them all white. Once dried, students drew ghost faces on the leaves to create an upcycled spooky craft. Ms. Stanton's class finished the day with a creepy jello recipe including gummy teeth and eyeballs. Students watched an instructional video on how to make jello, then followed the recipe to create their creepy creations!

This week, our Cross-Country team had a great start to the season. The boys placed second overall. In the boys race, leading the way were 8th graders Max Gallego and Nate Roulliard who came flying towards the finish line neck and neck leaving the crowd in suspense on who would finish ahead of the other. Not far behind them was Brandon Iem finishing with an amazing kick to outrun his opponents. Fifth grade Jake McNeil came sprinting in not letting anyone get in his way. Michael Casey also showed great determination and he captured our last top five spot.
Our girls placed 3rd overall in the the race. Seventh grader Analia Triv was our first Daley girl to finish as she passed 3 other runners in her sprint to the finish. Fifth grader Skylar Bouschane came soaring out of the woods on the last stretch making her mark and showing the others she is a true competitor. Mia Conners and Charlie Farley were no match for the others as they passed many getting to the finish line. Sixth grader Grace Sanborn also showed great speed coming out of the woods and with her strong finish landing her in our top 5. We are so proud of all of our runners and the coaches couldn’t be happier with the resilience they have shown!
