At Morning Meeting, Coach D reminded us that this school belongs to all of us, and we're each responsible for taking care of it. She thanked Ms. Agostinho's class and Ms. Maloney's class for helping her clean up snack litter, and encouraged us all to help keep our school clean and wonderful.
The Scouts meeting this week included soap carving, fencing and keeping it safe during those activities.
