What are your 3 greatest weaknesses or things you would like to change about yourself? List 2 accomplishments that made you feel proud. Wilson, 2015

TOYS FOR TOTS As of today, we have collected 94 toys as a school. Way to go tigers! In first place so far is Mrs. Davini/Ms. Bois’s homeroom with 18 toys. In second place so far is Mrs. Springsteen’s class with 16 toys. In third place so far is Mrs. Hearne, Ms. McCoy, Ms. Lee and Mrs. Tharp’s homerooms with 7 toys. Remember, the top two collecting homerooms will have doughnuts provided AND earn free time in the gym! Our first school goal is 200 toys. Once we reach 200, then we will randomly draw names from students that have donated toys to win candy prizes! Once we reach 500 toys, we will randomly draw names from students that have donated to win prizes from local businesses!
