Miss Mette’s fourth graders enjoyed the book Wishtree by Katherine Applegate. This story is told from the point of view of a wise old oak tree named Red, who is the neighborhood "wishtree". People write their wishes and tie them to Red's branches every year on May Day. Students made their wishes and added them to a “wishtree” at school today.
Come to the Convention Center and see the fantastic businesses our students are showcasing at the CEO Tradeshow.

Unit #50 Receives Library Grant
https://goo.gl/XgJPJA
Mrs. Chesnut's class received a monetary donation from Ms. Kay to use at the TGS book fair. The students used part of the money to pay it forward. They purchased two books for Mrs. Kreke's kindergarten class which they have been reading with all year. One book was given to Ms. Funneman, Youth Librarian from Effingham Public Library, who has led the TGS Rebecca Caudill Book Club all year. They were also able to get three new books for their classroom.
