Christmas is a spirit, a state of mind, a joyous feeling, the Grinch came to understand. These teachers, coaches, and principals could teach him a thing or two about appreciating each day with your kids, their gifting, differences, and their challenges.

Twas the Night Before Christmas
For Teachers - By Joyce Luke
'Twas the week before Christmas and all through the school
Not a pupil was silent, no matter what rule.
The children were busy with paper and paste;
The mess that they made with it couldn't be faced.
The teacher half frantic and almost in tears,
Had just settled down to work with her dears,
When out in the hall there arose such a clatter
up sprang the kids to see what was the matter!
Away to the door they all flew like a flash;
The one who was leading went down with a crash.
Then what to their wondering eyes did appear
But a green Christmas tree! (To decorate I fear!)
When the teacher saw this, she almost grew sick.
She knew in a moment it must be Old Nick!
She ran to the door (all her efforts were vain)
But she shouted, and stamped, and she called them by name;
"Now Tommy! Now Sandy, Now Judy and Harry!
Stop Billy! Stop Robert! Stop Donny and Sherry!
Now get to your places get away from the hall
Now get away! Get away! Get away all!
As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
The pupils, pell mell, started scurrying by.
They ran to the blackboard and skipped down the aisle;
Their faces were shining and each had a smile.
First came a basket of popcorn to string
Then came the Christmas tree (menacing thing).
As the tree was brought in there arose a great shout;
The pupils were merrily romping about.
The state they were in could lead to a riot;
The teacher was sure, if allowed, they would try it.
Her nerves how they jangled! Her temples were throbbing!
The rush of her breath sounded almost like sobbing!
The lines of her face were as fixed as a mask;
It was plain that she didn't feel up to her task.
The look in her eye would have tamed a wild steer,
But the children ignored it; they did every year.
A tear from her eye and a shake of her head
Soon led me to think that she wished she were dead.
She spoke not a word but went straight to her work,
Strung all the popcorn which broke with a jerk.
But at last it was finished and placed on the tree;
Then came the bell and the children were free.
Their shrill little voices soon faded away
And peace was restored at the end of the day.
As she looked at the Christmas tree glistening and tall,
She smiled as she whispered,
"Merry Christmas to All"!!
Congratulations to our WRJH Dance Team! They are STATE CHAMPS in KICK and received 3rd place in MIX!

Mrs. James' class did another STEM Challenge today where the objective was to build the longest paper chain garland. Students were only allowed to have a pair of scissors, 2 feet of tape, and 1 piece of construction paper as their materials. It was up to them on how to use it to make the chain. After creating the chain, students then measured their garland and made a bar graph with the data.

Found my way to a pretty cool place
And hopped on top of a sturdy bookcase
In the library I could read and read all day
Mrs James has plenty of shelves for this elf to play
Yesterday was our last day at school
Touring your school for sure has been cool!
Up on the rooftop perched so high
Mrs. Townsend's class can count... oh my
I found Mrs. Douthitts elf hanging on a line
In a candy can cane countdown until Christmas Time
Last but not least I made it to one more
Mrs. Stolusky's kindergarten class was my last door
I found a guitar and started to play
And the kids caught me so I had to be on my way
Merry Christmas as I scrambled out of the class
This school sure has been a blast!
At last I shall be on my way
I must check in with Santa before the big day
to tell him all the wonderful things I have seen
Not a single teacher was naughty or mean
They work hard and love on the kids every day
The nice list is where ALL teachers shall stay!

"Buddy" has been up to some shenanigans in Mrs. Hutchens' classes that past week. Started the week with a much needed marshmallow bath, made a countdown to Christmas, tried to sneak in through the window and got stuck in the blinds, took a ride on the mighty zebra, missed his friends so much he decided to hang out with their photos and today said goodbye to them until next year.
