One of Santa's top elves, Ariel Mears, came to visit the kindergarten on Wednesday with a special delivery! Ariel's grandma, Fay Mears, made countless stockings for kindergartners year after year after year. Nana Fay, as she was affectionately known, passed away two years ago. Ariel was not going to let Livingston Manor kindergartners go without those homemade, hand stitched stockings... in memory and honor of her amazing grandma, Ariel has taken up the task of making gifts from the heart and made a stocking for each of our little ones! They are absolutely beautiful and we know these students will have these unbelievable stockings to enjoy for many years.
Mrs. Hemmer's and Mrs. Ryan's kindergarten classes worked with Mrs. Davis's food and nutrition class to bake cookies on Tuesday. Everyone had a great time working together, rolling out the dough, and cutting the cookies. Decorating the cookies will come later. This is the first time the classes had combined for this project, but they say it won't be their last! See more photos on our Facebook page.
LMCS offers a huge "thank you" to Pat Boddy and her elves! They donated handmade scarves, hats and gloves for our primary kids! They are absolutely beautiful and will make sure our kids will be nice and warm for our outdoor recess winter days. We cannot imagine how much time it took this amazing group, but we sure do appreciate it! We wish Ms. Boddy and crew a very happy holiday season from the primary staff and students.
