On December 9th, members of the National Honor Society were able to participate in a community wide service event held at the Palace Theatre in Corsicana. The event was sponsored by Arc Hospice and featured a showing of the 1947 film Miracle on 34th Street. Residents of several care facilities were able to enjoy popcorn and hot chocolate as well as visits with Santa and Mrs. Clause!

Mrs. Caudillo’s 3rd graders created maps using the map features they have been learning about. Then they practiced reading each other’s maps during a gallery walk!
