Parole Officer Visit


Mrs. McCool, a parole officer, came in to discuss the value of her job within the community.  The children learned about how her job helps keep people safe and were able to see (and experience) some of the tools that an officer uses.  Ask your child about what they learned :)

Veteran's Day




In order to celebrate our brave veterans, we started off with an assembly which discussed the different branches.  Ayla and Cooper made a wonderful sign with Miss Conway, which was held proudly for our veterans to see.  Mr. Sapanaro then entered our classroom and discussed his experiences in the military. Thank you veterans!!!!!!

Safety Assembly


Officer Phil came to school and taught the children about safety at home and around the community.  He discussed the importance of knowing our addresses and phone numbers, being safe on the internet, as well as the idea of strangers.  He used magic tricks in his presentation, and Emma was even asked to come up and assist!

Mr. Hearn's Visit



















Mr. Hearn, who works at Penndot, came into class and spoke to the children about his job.  He taught them about building roads, fixing roads, and keeping people safe.  He brought in materials that are used, signs, and even a plow truck!  Each child had the opportunity to climb in!  Thank you Mr. Hearn for enriching the children's knowledge of tools and technology in the community!

Orthodontist Visit

On Friday, an orthodontist visited the second grade classrooms to teach us all about her job and the tools and technology associated with it.  Talking about keeping our teeth clean and healthy was especially important the night after Halloween :)

Volunteers lines up like teeth...

All smiles

Creepy eyes


Although it was kind of an ugly day, we were glad to have our parade outside and just miss the rain.



We danced to spooky music in the dark....

Before our Halloween fun began we made monster crafts to go along with our spooky stories.  Find your second grader!
