Second Grade “Rides” Polar Express
Timpson Elementary School second graders came to school December 4 dressed in their pajamas ready to go aboard the Polar Express. Ticketmaster Fred Wilcox took the students’ ticket so they could board the Polar Express located in the Timpson Elementary School library. Mrs. Teresa Osby had transformed the library into the Polar Express and had snacks to serve the students which they enjoyed while watching the movie. The students really enjoyed this experience and we appreciate everyone who worked so hard to make this project possible.
Agents for Change
On Thursday, December 3rd the Timpson Elementary Agents for Change traveled to the Garrison Nursing Home to spread a little Christmas cheer. Agents for Change is made up of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders who want to make a difference in our school and the community. These students have to maintain good citizenship to remain active, and they spend their time serving others through community service type projects. This past Thursday, these students sang a selection of Christmas carols for the residents of the Garrison Nursing Home. After their performance, the Agents visited with the residents and passed out handmade Christmas cards to them and to the staff. This was a rewarding experience for everyone involved. The Agents hope to return to the nursing home in the spring for another visit. Their sponsor is Tammy Sparks.
