Look at the Holiday Spirit at LEAP! Today's dress up day is Sweater Weather and the kids did not disappoint! Happy Holidays from LEAP Elementary!

Here's a look back at a special memory our LEAP students have from the beginning of November! Jack, a student's pet ball python, came to visit each classroom. Students were able to ask questions and learn all there is to know about ball pythons. Many of our #WatertownWay students were excited to pet Jack, too! 🐍

There's been a lot of excitement in Mr. Stocks's room at LEAP as the 4th and 5th graders have been working very hard on a variety of science projects. Students were able to pick the subject of their science projects, which added to the fun. Some of the subjects chosen were paleontology, astrology, volcanoes, and archeology! Excellent job, 4th and 5th graders! 👏 #WatertownWay

🎁🎄 December 17th was LEAP's annual Holiday Store where each of the kids shopped for gifts for their families. It is always a special day that the students look forward to! We are so appreciative of our LEAP PTO for putting on this special event year after year! ❤

Ladies and Gentlemen - Grab your popcorn 🍿 and turn up the volume 🔊 because we have a special performance coming your way! 🌟 WUSD elementary music students have been learning about Pytor Tchaikovsky, their composer of the month, by studying several pieces from the Nutcracker Ballet. We hope you enjoy this parachute performance to Tchaikovsky's "Trepak" presented by one of Mrs. Beine's second-grade classes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmcDQIq4_IQ
