Dress like a Pirate Day

Today, we enjoyed a great performance from the National Theatre for Children about how to conserve energy and natural resources. 

The students enjoyed watching this hilarious performance.

Please go online to the above website and order your own FREE Energy Conservation Kit!  I encouraged the students to get our whole class to order a free kit.  The students will earn Dojo points and possibly help our school win $10,000!

Here are some of us dressed up for "Dress Like A Pirate Day."
