I think Ellie the Elf was pretty excited to see more students today. One of our cohorts found her in their classroom and she was ready to learn! I wonder where she'll be tomorrow.

We didn't have to search for Ellie the Elf today, because some of our Mustangs found her for us! Today was Book Exchange Day and I bet you can guess where Ellie was. She even brought her own book and her pet reindeer! I wonder where she'll be tomorrow. Hmmm...

Can anyone figure out where we found Ellie the Elf today? It looks like she wants to remind you to be sure you're washing your hands for at least 20 seconds. If you know where she is, tell us in the comments below.

Mrs. Derrick's kindergarteners did a fun STEM project today on Zoom. Look at the bridges they made for the Gingerbread Man!
#GoMesaMustangs
No soap and water to wash hands? Use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol in it.

Decrease illnesses that cannot be readily distinguished from COVID19 and would therefore trigger extensive measures from the school and public health authorities.
