Mrs. Pierce's News!

Hi Everybody,
In case you haven't heard already, I am expecting another baby! Chris, Somerset and I are thrilled. We will welcome the addition in late January, so I'll take a maternity leave and then be back by May. I am busy this summer with working on our driveway of our eventual new house, and Somerset and I have been going to museums, playgrounds, to the beach, etc. I am taking a Math course in August and then I'll be getting the room spruced up for fifth graders! See you soon!

Service Learning Project!



We have made our goal - we raised enough money from the sale of the water bottles to buy EVERY FAMILY at UES a reusable shopping bag. What fun we had researching facts, organizing bags and delivering them to the delighted students. Go Team!
