What a festive day at Selkirk Elementary! The kindergarteners have been comparing and contrasting all the gingerbread cookie books including their favorite, "The Ninjabread Boy". Today, kinders made a gigantic gingerbread cookie that tried to escape, but with the help of friends, students caught the cookie and ate it up, yum! In TK, they had a class party filled with holiday themed games, including Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Grinch! Students in grades 1-5 ended the day with AN AMAZING ELF RACE around Metaline Falls. The elves, Bernard and Bernadette, left just enough clues to lead students to PRESENTS!! It is good to be a Selkirk Ranger and we wish everyone a happy holiday season full of family, joy, and gratitude.
