The students in Mrs. Bayles' Pre-K enrichment class at Nassakeag Elementary School visited Planet P to meet the Pod Pals during a new unit in the Imagination Playground Program. The program encourages students to work with one another and design their own course of play.

Students were first challenged to invent their own equipment and Super Space Shoes using a variety of recycled materials. Then, they wore their shoes to land on Planet “P” and chose Pod Pals, creatures that enjoy exploring and inventing, to bring back to Earth to work on future projects together.

The student council at Nassakeag Elementary School collected candy from staff and students after Halloween.

The bags were distributed during a Thanksgiving meal held at the church.

Third graders in Mrs. Frole’s class at Minnesauke Elementary School collected food items and gift cards to create Thanksgiving meal baskets for local families in need. Students donated, designed and wrapped each basket. They also created Thanksgiving cards to be given to local veterans with their holiday meals.

At W.S. Mount Elementary School, Mrs. Costanza, Mrs. Mazzarone, and Mrs. Pushee's classes joined together to host a food drive. They assembled four gift baskets for local families to enjoy this Thanksgiving.
