Month of fun and games for the elementary

by William Belson

The elementary this month is having a sort of spirit month, except for reading, involving prizes and lots of fun. The month is full of dressing up, competitions between classes, and book fairs, making this arguably the most fun month of the year in the elementary.

One of the competitions that the elementary classes are competing in is the “dog sled race,” which is a race between the rooms to bring in money for the library. The class that wins the competition will receive a reward for their winning effort.

March 11-13, the elementary held a book fair, but that’s not all. “We had a Family Night, which was a huge success, and I made $1,897 and had a profit of over $900 worth of books. It was awesome, and we had a really huge turn out. I am up $200 from last year from just having it three days,” explained Mrs. Schutte, the elementary librarian.

The elementary will be having a dress up week this month--March 23-27 the kids will be taking part in Tacky Day, Hat and Pin Day, Read My Shirt Day, Pittsford Spirit Wear Day, and P.J. Day.

Another part of the March reading month was a question asked to every student based on a story that was read to them during the week. The first question on the first week was; What is the color of a polar bears skin? The question on the second week was; what did the adeli penguins steal from it’s neighbors nest? The question for the third week was, what does the arctic fox live in? The final week the question was, why is an elephant seal call an elephant sea?
