American Education Week was
a fine success at our school this
year. On Monday night, many par
ents and interested patrons came
to the school for A NIGHT AT
SCHOOL. They visited the differ
ent rooms where they were greet
ed by their children's teachers who
showed work the children rad done
and some of the things the chill
dren were being taught.
On Thursday, parents again
called at the school. This time, of
course, classes were in session.
All parents who came stayed until
after the assembly program given
by the teachers fOr the student
body. 0ne parent, Mrs. Ethel Can
non, stayed the entire day in the
third grade room. There she work
ed with the teacher, Mrs. Evans, to
actually teach several classes. This
was a rare experience indeed for
all concerned. It was rather anus
ing to hear Mrs. Cannon say that
now if never before, she fully un-
derstands the teachers day and
can appreciate what the teachers
are doing for her children. Mrs.
Cannon thoroughly enjoyed her
day at school.
On Wednesday, November 21st,
