The first graders at AE/MS were greeted on the first day of school by dinosaur stuffed animals sitting on their desks. Around the dino’s necks were tags saying, “We are going to have a DINO-mite year!” At the end of the day, the students brought home their new stuffed animals. The dinosaurs were donated from a Kohl’s store in Connecticut. A special thanks to Judy Wiley for providing these snugly T-Rex critters.
