Happy First Friday of Fall from Mrs. Montgomery's kindergarten class! This week, we have talked a lot about seasons changing, why the leaves change colors, and telling the difference between deciduous trees and evergreens. This afternoon called for a trip to the outdoor classroom to retrieve supplies for a leaf man craft. It was a great day to enjoy the outdoors!

Exciting news for Highland Elementary students! This year, our school was awarded the Steele Reese Foundation Grant which has provided us with nearly $30,000 worth of reading materials. Comprised of just short of 3,000 books and other tools for the hands of our students, the Pioneer Valley Literacy Footprints Guided Reading collection addresses kindergarten through 6th grade. We feel very blessed and grateful to have another fantastic resource to use when teaching our students. Great things are happening at Highland Elementary!
