We really enjoyed our Pinata Dojo reward. Every student had an opportunity to take a swing and receive some goodies. The amount of "treats" that they gathered had a direct correlation with the number of Dojos that they earned up to date. All the treats are coming home today. A huge thank you to the families that donated items to help this activity take place. Not only was it a cultural lesson, it was FUN!!
Mr. Counts joined in the fun and took the final swings. We want to thank him for taking time to join our fun.
Please note that the pinata also had toy rewards. You child might be bringing home some small prizes.
The students stopped by Mr. Lee's office to show him all the goodies that they earned.
