  • This month all the classes got to meet Tundra the wolf dog.  She was very friendly and obedient with her owner and trainer Gary Allen.  He taught us many interesting things about wolves.  Thank you, Gary. 
  •  Sandowne School students and staff had their pictures taken.  Retakes will be on Nov. 10th.  The date has changed a couple times so be sure to check back.
  •  Pro D brought us many great new ideas.
  •  Many of the classes visited Hudson's Farm and had a great day among the pumpkins.
  • Running club worked hard throughout the month and participated in a cross country meet.  They did very well.  Thank you to Mrs. Kiddle and Mrs Nelson, the coaches and all the commited runners.
  • Sandowne's Hallowe'en Parade this year, as always was awesome.  So many wonderful, scary and unique costumes.  It is always so much fun. The teachers ended the day with their rendition of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller', complete with everyone in costume and choreographed moves.

- We have started our point gathering again for our house teams.  Everyone is working hard to gain points by bringing garbage free lunches, walking to school, getting caught being good, etc.  Way to go Sandowne...You're the BEST.
