Our students had a very special assembly on Friday, The MAGIC of READING! Magician,  Mike Hamilton, performed a magic show and promoted reading with his magic tricks.  The students loved his show and he even left a mark on the ceiling of  the auditorium for the students to remember his message—READING IS MAGIC!  We appreciate Mike and his fun talent!

We have the best students, here at Mt. Loafer!  We want them to know how much we appreciate the good things they do!  Our student council members are looking for students who are doing kind things for others.  When they see someone doing something nice, they give them a "Cool to Be Kind" card, and a little treat!  Thanks, students for all your good work, and remember, It's Cook to be Kind!

Our students at Mt. Loafer were rewarded with a SNOW DAY for their great behavior!  Each term the students who have shown wonderful citizenship have the opportunity to participate in a special activity!  This term we went sledding then had doughnuts and hot chocolate!  We love our students and appreciate their good example!

The First Grade Students traveled to the North Pole on the Polar Express!  Along the way they drank hot chocolate, watched a little bit of the Polar Express, and sang fun Christmas songs!  Thanks to Mrs. Bradley, Mrs. Olsen, Mrs. Kilgore, and all the parent helpers who worked so  hard to make this a fun Christmas journey!  

Mrs. Peterson’s Kindergarten Students performed their Christmas Program for their parents and other special guests!  They were dressed up in fun holiday costumes and sang festive songs to celebrate the season!  Thanks to Mrs. Peterson and all the Kindergarten students for their wonderful work!

The Mt. Loafer Orchestra performed a wonderful Christmas Concert.  They have been working hard, practicing early in the morning before school even begins.  The director of the orchestra is Mandy Bartholomew, and we want to thank her and the students for sharing their fine talents to help us get ready for the Christmas Season!

Wednesday was a special day at Mt. Loafer!  Santa Claus made a special holiday appearance to wish the students a very Merry Christmas!  The students were singing around the Christmas tree when Santa came bounding in, dressed all in red from his head to his feet! The students had a wonderful time singing with the help of Mrs. Olsen and Mrs. Bradley!    Today was also the day to wear your ugliest sweater, and you can see by the picutres, some students went all out! 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, MT. LOAFER!

Mrs. Turner's Fourth Grade Class performed the play, "A Christmas Carol,"  by Charles Dickens.  They have been working extra hard this holiday season memorizing parts and singing songs for the play.  They preformed the play for different classes throughout the week and the students loved watching the fourth-graders.  Thanks to Mrs. Turner and her students!  

Salem City asked the students at Mt. Loafer to help make Christmas special this year by creating beautiful luminaries for the Salem City Cemetery.  Many students went to work with Mrs. Bluth, our Art Specialist, to make these special lanterns that will light up the cemetery on Christmas Eve. Thanks, Mt. Loafer Students!
