Just a reminder that there is no school for students tomorrow. Teachers will be working hard on learning new things to share with their students. #pd58learns Hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend and break!

Thankful for this amazing Pierce Downer office team! Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁🍽🦃 @CClavenna @PierceDowner

'Twas the night before Thanksgiving ... brain breaks, writing, and reading all about turkeys with my Kindergarten friends! They are such experts with SEESAW! What a great way to spend the last day of school. Happy Thanksgiving to all @PierceDowner families! @CClavenna

Jack brought in a new book today and the boys wanted to see what it was all about, and yes they were really reading!📚 #dg58learns
