THE CHEFS AND SERVERS OF RESTAURANT 164
Students in Mrs. Gruen's classroom hosted Restaurant 164 for invited guests on Thursday, March 22nd. The students cooked and served lunch for staff and family; learning real life lessons over hot dogs and grilled cheese.
Mrs. Jorbin's First Grade class wrote their first books last month. The students wrote stories about their dogs, family, Legos and Super Mario, to name a few. They illustrated their own books, and created the title and covers. Great work, young authors!
On Friday, March 2nd, Forest joined in Read Across America – a nationwide celebration of reading held on Dr. Seuss's birthday. Distinguished members of the community were invited to read to every class. Among the many readers were members of the Police and Fire Departments, the Military and District 62 Administrators. Everyone had a great time!
