Monday was an exciting day for Jesus Medina's second grade at Garfield School and Mrs. Smith's 2nd grade class from Community Elementary School in Coffeyville. The two classes have practiced their literacy skills through being pen pals all year long, and they finally met in person in Mr. Medina's classroom. The children introduced themselves, had a scavenger hunt to get to know their pen pals better, went to Forest Park for lunch and play time, them headed back to Mr. Medina's class for some Jeopardy math fun together.
Because of technical problems, tonight's USD 503 Board of Education meeting will not be live streamed. It will be recorded and uploaded to the USD 503 YouTube channel later this week. THANKS!
Congrats!!!
Friday marked what is believed to be the 10th anniversary of Garfield's Pennies for Poems literary event in Forest Park. 2nd grade students read poems to those who drop pennies in their buckets. The event draws a huge crowd and is a great fundraiser for second grade activities.
