Celebrations Around the World

      The kindergarten classes at Spring Lake Elementary learned that there are many world celebrations in December.  Hanukkah, Kwanza, and Christmas were the main events they learned about.  Dreidels were spun, candelabras were colored, and carols were sung. Families around the world spend special time together during this season and we were happy to learn more about ourselves and others.

Second Grade Students at Spring Lake Elementary recently enjoyed a fun filled day at the farm!
