Mrs. Bales' 1st grade class has been working long and hard on creating their Hot Chocolate Shop "business". It was a collaborative effort that ended with some very satisfied "customers". The students came up with the name of our shop- Cup of Joy, as well as the four different hot cocoa drinks they would be serving. It was fun watching them become young entrepreneurs, and learn how to work together to achieve the many details that go into a business. And of course, we had to sample our product! 😄
Mr. Colasuonno, the Dufur School Dean of Students, presents a monthly award for the K-12 Student of the Month. This award symbolizes what it means to be a Ranger: positive, encouraging, striving for excellence, team-oriented and an overall productive member of our student body. Congratulations to the January Student of the Month, Kyle Wilson!
