Mt. Loafer had a spectacular Christmas performance presented by the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade classes.  Robin Brown, our wonderful music teacher, directed the concert.  She conducted the students singing Christmas songs, playing music on their recorders, and dancing with fluorescent pictures with a black light!  The students did a fantastic job and it helped us get ready for the holiday season!  

The First Graders had a great time making gingerbread houses to celebrate the holiday season! They decorated their houses with all sorts of colorful candy and frosting!  We appreciate the first grade teachers for all their hard work and we especially want to thank all the parent helpers who came and helped the first grade students with their Christmas creations!  

Mt. Loafer Elementary students got a real treat, Friday, going to the Fifth Grade Wax Museum!  The fifth grade students researched famous people who have made a difference in history.  They wrote reports about the person they chose, collected artifacts that represented what that person stood for, and came dressed as that person.  The students and teachers went to a lot of work for this activity and we learned many fun facts about some pretty famous people!

Tuesday was a special Thankful Day at Mt.

Loafer had the Great Gobble-Off to see who was  the best gobbler!  The Terrific Turkeys strutted their stuff as they tried to capture the vote of the judges!  The winners are:  Talmage Sainsbury, Alydia Haskell, Brandon Hill, Kyler Holman, Emma Sorensen, and Annie Jones.  The teachers who had the best gobbles were Miss Doman, and Mrs. Bradley!  Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
