Our second graders and fifth graders had a special visit this week from Sergeant Lantz, Sergeant Monger, and their canine Dax. Thank you for visiting and for bringing Dax to see the kiddos.
Our second graders finished their Christmas Around the World Unit with guest speaker, Iris Huezo, who grew up in Mexico. The kids had many great questions for her and she was a very informational speaker. Thank you for coming to Platte-Geddes Elementary, Iris!
Festive Sweater Day was a hit at school!! The kids looked great! The upper elementary kids also enjoyed a lunchroom visit from former Ohio State FB player (and cousin to Maisey Suits) Kamryn Babb. He joined us for a few photos so please show them to your kids.
