Cedar Hollow Families:
We had a very busy week after returning from break. There are many events and activities coming up, and I want to provide you with all the necessary information.
This week, the students participated in expectation stations. After breaks, we provide schoolwide expectations stations to review our procedures throughout the school. The goal is to Give Kindness, Practice Accountability, and Stay Safe in all areas of the school. The students did a great job, and classes are working for the classroom reward, The Guardian Glow. Keep it up Guardians!
On Thursday, the 2nd-grade students attended a field trip with their teachers and our music teacher, Mrs. Smith, to watch the Nutcracker Performance. This is a fun tradition our 2nd graders get to experience each year in Gretna Public Schools.
