More Race Pics

More great pics from the race! We all make very silly faces when we're running! I wasn't able to find pictures of Bella and Shaun. They must have had their numbers covered up.












































And my two favorite pics from the race:







Gotta love the excitement Lindsey has when she crosses the finish line!

Deal or No Deal...

Love solving complicated math problems?

Good at figuring out word puzzles?

Want to win big bonus money this Thursday?

Then download the Deal or No Deal PDF file from Mr. Sofferin's Dropbox folder and get to work solving the problems!  For those of you without printer access, I'll have copies for you on Monday.

Festival of Lights

Sofferin's Superstars represented at The Festival of Lights 5K! Twelve of our students, along with a bunch of siblings and parents, ran the 5K, many for the first time ever! Several former and current teachers ran it too!

For me personally, it was the anniversary of my first run ever and it was fantastic. But the best part was seeing so many of my wonderful students joining me for the run. I'm so proud of all of them for taking the challenge!

Mr. Gibbons!

Ms. Beverly!

Mr. & Mrs. Peck

Bianca!

After the race, at Red Elephant!

Winter Concert

The Chorus and ORFF performed their annual concert today and it was amazing! Seriously the best sounding chorus I've seen in years! Everyone was wonderful, especially our Superstars! Mrs. Laymon and Mr. Zumchak once again did an incredible job putting together a really great show.

Holiday Festivities!

We have a ton of fun activities coming up over the next two weeks! Here's a quick run down: Holiday Store - Monday through Thursday this week students can bring in money to shop for family members and friends at the PTA holiday store! There are loads of really nice gifts, most priced at six dollars or less. This is a great opportunity for kids to shop for their parents and siblings without their parents around to see what they're buying them! In order to shop at the store, students must bring their money in the envelope provided to them last Friday. Winter Concert - Thursday, December 11th! This Thursday, our chorus and ORFF students will be performing a holiday concert at 7:00 PM! Pictures with Santa & Frosty - Tuesday, December 16th kids can get their pictures taken with Santa and Frosty! Gingerbread Houses - Wednesday, December 17th we'll be making Gingerbread Houses! I am asking for every student to bring in a package of candy to share among the class to use for decorating the gingerbread houses. If anyone would like to help out by sending in a box of graham crackers as well, that would be much appreciated. Please send in the candy by Monday, December 15th. Pajama Day - Thursday, December 18th students are encouraged to wear their PJs to school. In the morning we will be enjoying a movie and hot chocolate. Holiday Party - Thursday, December 18th - Class luncheon at 12:00 PM. Mrs. Gates and Mrs. Brown will be providing the turkey. We are asking that each parent send in a side dish or dessert for the luncheon. We will also be having our annual Gift Swap after the luncheon, which is always my personal favorite part of the party!! ;)
