The University of Boggess Bookstore is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:15 - 7:30. They have pens, pencils, locker mirrors and more. Most items cost under two dollars. The store helps raise money for field trips and assemblies. I think I’m going shopping at the bookstore!

Kindergarteners learned how plants are part of a system when they visited the Arboretum. On 10/26 they dressed up 50’s style to celebrate the 50th day of school.

1st Grade performed a Thanksgiving play on 10/17. They worked extra hard and we congratulate them on their success - we’ll always remember “Super Turkey!”

2nd Grade is learning about animals and their habitats. They are making habitat boxes and will display them at school. We hope you will come see them.

3rd Grade visited Heritage Farmstead to study how early Plano residents lived. They learned that children worked hard helping their families before they got to play with toys that were usually homemade.

Fourth Grade went on a field trip to the Outdoor Learning Center where we learned about living and non-living plants and animals. We will be going to the Arboretum on 10/31. We have started learning about Texas’ four regions and will be making an artifact for our 4th grade museum.

5th Grade is preparing to go to the Collin County Adventure Camp or Camp Boggess November 27th - 29th. We are studying biomes around us and will get to explore them more at our camp. Congratulations to 15 choir students who were recently selected to participate in MCC and PCC.
