Winter Concert

Our 5th and 6th grade students put on a great winter concert.  Students in the chorus, orchestra and band played songs to family, friends and classmates.  Two students had their own solo performances and did a fantastic job.

CONESTOGA "GIVES"

Giving  Is Valued Encouraged Supportive

Thanks to the efforts and support of Mrs. Eckroat and the PTO we started a new program at Conestoga to allow students to give back to the community in different ways.  This month students had the opportunity to volunteer to use their recess time to make cards for community members who are part of Meals On Wheels.  Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd and 5th helped this Friday.  NExt Friday will be the other grades.  Students also created a poster thanking the volunteers at Meals on Wheels for their efforts.  The students will have the chance to do this for two different organizations in January and February.

Drum Assembly

We are so Thankful to the PMEF who supported the Drum Assembly at all of the elementary schools.  Oour students had a blast playing the drums, shakers, and blocks.  They learned about music from Africa, Caribbean, and Brazil.

Balloons Over Broadway

First graders were getting ready for the Thanksgiving Parade by reading "Balloons Over Broadway" and decorating the hallway with their own balloons.  

Some turkeys in our school were putting on disguises to avoid being noticed before Thanksgiving.
