Dewey Elementary School... Kindergarten & First Grade in Chillicothe, Missouri

CAPTION: Kindergarten students from Patricia Adkison’s class at Dewey School learn about the path a letter takes once it arrives at the post office. To help understand the process, the students wrote letters, addressed envelopes with their home addresses, dropped them through the mail slot at the post office and then listened to Natalie Stephens (right), lead sales and service associate at the post office, explain how letters go through the cancellation process and are placed for proper distribution. Three kindergarten classes visited the post office today and four yesterday.

CAPTION: Dewey School kindergarten and first-grade students got off the bus and headed to their classrooms just before 8 a.m. this (Thursday) morning after two consecutive days without classes because of inclement weather and hazardous road conditions.

School district officials say any more missed school days due to hazardous road conditions will be tacked on the end of the 2007-08 school year in May.

CAPTION: First grade students performed “Around the World at Christmas Time” to a large crowd last (Wednesday) night at Gary Dickinson Performing Arts Center. The students, under the direction of Debra Brick, sang several songs during their holiday performance.
