4th Grade Writing Presentations!
Our 4th grade students have been working hard the last few weeks to research and write about different countries. They took that work and created a nonfiction PowerPoint to show their learning. Parents were invited in to come and listen to these presentations. It was a great time by all!

Happy School Counselor Week to our AMAZING school counselors, Aaron Jensen and Liz Copple.
Both Mr. Jensen and Mrs. Copple work hard every day to support all of our Anne Sullivan students but in and out of the classroom. School Counselors have a tremendous impact in helping students achieve school success, feel safe at school, and build problem solving skills and peer interactions.
If you see them around the building or out on the playground, take a moment to say Thank you!
