Mrs. Donnelly's second grade class at Mount Wolf Elementary read their Scholastic News this week titled

"Rainbow Plants.” In this issue, the kids learned about a tree with colored bark, carrots of different colors, and

how to change the color of a white rose. The class thought it would be fun to experiment with this concept so

they chose six different colors to add to water to see if the celery would change colors by “drinking” the water

from the glasses. They were so excited with how the experiment turned out that they wouldn’t let Mrs. Donnel-

ly throw out the celery!

Congratulations to Jacob Sands, a tenor

sax player in the NMS Band. On Satur-

day, March 9, Jacob performed at a jazz

concert with Inspire Music, a local mu-

sic school, directed by Curt Sipe.

Jacob's band is called The Hornets, is

directed by Steve Fieldhouse, and in-

cludes 5 saxes and a rhythm section.

During the concert, each student has a

chance to improvise and Jacob's improv

was very smooth!! Kudos to Jacob!!

Representatives from the Seeing Eye Dog Program visited

our 4th graders at Shallow Brook Intermediate School to

teach us more about how guide dogs are trained. Rebecca

Geesey, Nancy Roberts, and Valorie Hobbs brought in their

puppies that are currently in training. This visitation was in

conjunction with our Houghton Mifflin Anchor Text, The

Right Dog for the Job, which explains how one heroic dog is

trained to help others who have difficulties with everyday

life. The students had a great time interacting with Vivian,

Violet, and Jasmine and learning more about how to become

a puppy raiser.
