This week in Wit & Wisdom, Ms. Gruber's 3rd grade class read The Keeping Quilt and explored the beautiful traditions in the story. Students learned about challah bread, babushkas, and wedding huppas-and even got to taste challah and see a real babushka up close! They also created their own classroom quilt with pieces that represent their special class community. Such a meaningful and memorable week of learning!

We need your help at Surf City Elementary. Our awesome staff members who work morning car duty do such an amazing job in the cold, rain, and wind this winter greeting your students and supervising them as they enter the building. We release 15 cars at a time to help expedite the line as much as possible! We make sure each child is safe getting to the sidewalk and into the building. Unfortunately, we have had some parents refuse to let their children out of the car until they are directly in front of the building. We certainly understand we have had some cold days, but the walk is super quick and not letting your child out in order is holding the entire line up. Thank you so much for helping us with this issue!
