John Tower Drama Club and Ukulele Club brought Christmas cheer to the residents of Brookdale Sikes Lake Senior Care on Monday afternoon! Thank you Mrs. Vivio for your leadership!



Let the official practice for the Christmas Program begin!

"'Tis the season to be jolly!"










The Ukulele Club had their first-ever performance last night at the MSU Fantasy of Lights! It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to show off all the hard work they've put in this semester. They did a great job performing and representing Tower Elementary in our community. Congratulations to the Ukulele Club students on a job well-done! Thank you Mrs. Vivio for ALWAYS going above and beyond for your students!

When walking down our 4th grade hallway, one notices beautifully decorated elves! Look closely at the happy faces! Our wonderful 4th grade teachers have intentionally encouraged our students to “feel” the spirit of the Christmas season with their festive and happy decorations! If we think about it, teachers are custodians of culture and spirit, especially during festive seasons. Mrs.McMath, Ms. Hudson, Mrs. Dimock and Mrs. Lemons, thank you for your vital role in translating the abstract concepts of joy, generosity and goodwill into fun lessons for our students!







Mrs. Rasbury's Kindergarteners had fun learning about magnets! Students investigated and determined which materials are magnetic and which are non-magnetic!










Our beautiful students continue to find joy in dropping coins in our "Faith Mission Box," to help those who may need a hot meal or bed overnight. Thank you Carter and Carsen for delivering the contents of our Faith Mission Box, which was $43, to Steve Sparks, the Director of Faith Mission yesterday afternoon. We now have an empty box in the gym and will continue to leave it there the entire year to teach the children compassion, even with small amounts of change or dollars!





It's a "Christmas state of mind" at John Tower Elementary!


Join us tomorrow for our School Health Advisory Committee meeting on Wednesday, December 3rd, at 3:45 PM in the Overton Ray Library.

BEST SCHOOL EVER!
Our Assistant Principal, Mrs. Gates, organized a fun Thanksgiving "team building" activity for the teachers today. It was called, "Turkey in My Pocket!" Not only did the teachers get in on the fun, the students cheered the teachers on in their "hunt" for the turkeys! It was a super fun day! Here are the winners of the "Turkey in My Pocket" competition!

Drama Club was hard at work practicing for their upcoming play, “Elfis and the Sleigh Riders.” No one gets along all the time, not even Santa’s elves! Thankfully, Elfis is able to help everyone at the North Pole learn the value of true friendship. You can catch their play at the Annual John Tower Christmas Program, Dec. 19 at 9 am. Thank you Mrs. Vivio, Mrs. Spring and Mrs. Larsen for leading the Drama Club!
