Celebrate Freedom Week would not be complete without a visit from Mrs. Kaufmann's 6th graders dressed in patriotic costumes. Friday, students were greeted by Uncle Sam (Garrett Keas), Abraham Lincoln (Tripp Muir), Betsy Ross (Madeline Burnett), and Lady Liberty (Abigail Richardson). These new costumes were made possible by the Mart Enrichment Foundation.
Each September, teachers submit grant applications to the Enrichment Foundation for up to $2,000 in order to provide innovative materials or opportunities for their students. Those that are selected are notified and funded around December. This organization has been instrumental in allowing our teachers to explore programs that otherwise may not be possible.
Celebrate Freedom Week will wrap up today with a Great American Sing off in the cafeteria led by Mrs. Kaufmann.
