Last night, the stuffed animals had the ultimate sleepover at school—rumor has it they played hide-and-seek in the library, had a dance-off in the gym, and a late-night snack raid in the cafeteria. Who knew stuffed animals were such party animals?
Don't forget you can pick your stuffed animal up at our Breakfast with Pals in the school cafeteria from 8-10 this morning!

Hanging out in the Tech space; getting in our iReady and Amplify minutes, enjoying the tech cafe seating and playing with legos!










Final stuffies have been checked in and are ready for the sleepover! Many students report their stuffy likes to snuggle, we have some with a fear of the dark (not a problem) and some that love fruit. We can't wait to see where the night takes us!







Our officers can't wait to see what happens at the Stuffy Sleepover tonight! Grab your popcorn and stay tuned for the fun that's sure to come.


Principal Jerr and AP Hawkins are so excited for the sleepover tonight!


First a game of hide and seek with 100+ stuffies and then some of our favorite games; dominoes, Candy Land, UNO and more in the Learning Commons! Thank you Mrs. D and Mrs. Schrier for stopping by to play!










The stuffed animals snuggled up in a cozy pile with some teachers, sharing a giant bowl of popcorn while watching their favorite movie—though most of the popcorn ended up in their laps and on the floor instead of their mouths!







Who doesn't love sparkles?!? There was a glitter explosion as we explored the Art Studio and a few stuffies accidentally glued their paws together while crafting!







As the moonlight peeked through the windows, all the stuffed animals, Principal Jerr, and Assistant Principal Hawkins were sound asleep in a dreamy pile of coziness, with tiny snores and the faint rustle of fluff filling the air.

Why did the student eat their homework?
Because their teacher said it was a piece of cake! 🍰
This joke was a big hit during our classroom explorations as we read books and worked on our spelling and writing.

The stuffed animals huddled together, eyes wide and ears perked, as Assistant Principal Hawkins brought their bedtime story to life with silly voices and lots of laughter.

The stuffed animals gathered quietly in the Zen Den, eating a quick snack and practicing mindfulness by taking deep, fluffy breaths and imagining their happiest, coziest adventures.











It's time for Art class with Principal Jerr!

Message from the PTA!
Tomorrow marks the exciting start of our first McClelland Stuffie Sleepover! We invite your child to bring one stuffed animal to school, which will have the chance to spend the night with Principal Jerr and Assistant Principal Hawkins. Please remember, only one stuffie per child. We appreciate your understanding! A $5 donation per child is suggested, but no toy will be turned away. The more stuffies, the more fun!
On Saturday, join us for our Second Pancakes with Pals Breakfast from 8 to 10:30 AM at McClelland, where you can pick up your stuffed animal and enjoy a delicious breakfast! There are whispers that Santa might make a special appearance, too! The cost is $5 per person or $20 for a family. However, we welcome everyone to join in the holiday spirit, no matter their contribution.
If you can't make it on Saturday to retrieve your stuffed animal, no worries! Stuffies can stay a little longer and have more fun. Your child can pick up their friend on Monday during school hours.
If you Venmo, please include your child’s first name and grade. Thank you

Congratulations Employee of the Month, Mrs. McCarthy!
