Libby Elementary

🎄 Day 4 of our 12 Days of Christmas Fun! 🎄 Our halls were filled with Christmas magic today as students and staff dressed up as their favorite holiday characters. We spotted elves, reindeer, snowmen, and even a few Home Alone mischief-makers! 💚 Tomorrow: Be a Grinch Day — wear GREEN!

A 🍯 sweet way to learn! Last week, students in Ms. Joines’s class wrapped up their lesson on Social Insects: Bees and Wasps with a real honey tasting. What a delicious way to make a real-world connection to their learning! 🐝

🎉 Way to go, Karson Henderson! 🎉 Karson earned a pizza party with friends for reaching 150 Accelerated Reader points! We’re so proud of your hard work - keep it up! 📚🍕
