The 5th graders Deliver Catnip Mice to Appreciative Shelter Cats!

The 5th and 3rd graders at TISA made catnip mice for the shelter cats of Taos as their community service project on Martin Luther King Day. They delivered them last week and spent some quality time with the cats and dogs at the Taos Animal Shelter. It was great to see how the cats enjoyed their new toys!

5th Graders Participate in Peace Walk

Last week the 4th and 5th graders participated in a ceremony to heal the world with the Tibetan monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery. The students listened as the monks sang on the Taos Plaza and walked with the group to Kit Carson Park. At the park they participated in a prayer circle for peace.

Thanks to Ms. Nicole K., we had the great opportunity to learn to stilt walk last week. The 5th graders were all brave souls and were raised to great heights! Also, congratulations to the winners of last week's elections to the student council! Maggie Perez is president, Brytin Ryan Vice President and Sienna Wind is our secretary.
