Garfield school students took a field trip Friday to see all of the Stella Wells Christmas Trees to be auctioned. They were surprised to see all the different trees and learn about the auction. They picked their favorite tree. Garfield and Parsons Middle School were top favorites







Garfield students were wowed by the trees at the Stella Wells Christmas Tree Auction Friday. The Garfield and Parsons Middle School trees were among their favorites. Garfield Principal Barney Pontious had no doubt his favorite tree - Garfield's "Level Up" tree!


Mrs. Strode's students worked through tough challenges in this team building activity with Ms. Ryan during this week's counseling lesson. Such a fun activity











This girl is crushing goals and setting new ones! Here she holds the goodie bag she got for reaching 75 points Accelerated Reader points! She is now almost to 90 points and wants to hit 100 before Christmas! Garfield Vikings are definitely Leveling Up!


This girl really knows how to Level Up! She passed addition in Xtra Math AND met her end of year Accelerated Reader goal in the same week! I can't wait to see what goal she tackles next!


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! These Vikings loved making elves to decorate downtown windows with!










The Tuesday before Thanksgiving we celebrated friendship by making pumpkin pie in a cup together. Each group of students followed the recipe carefully to make their own batch of this sweet dessert. They also made predictions and gathered data about who would like it. 9 of 12 did!











Teamwork makes the dream work, Mr. Medina's class work together in a team building activity during Ms. Ryan's counseling special class! Working together is so much fun!






Today in Ms. Ryan's counseling class the classes participated in a teamwork tower building activity











Garfield staff loves to build relationships! Mrs. Tierney was privileged to be this student's teacher last year. The bond created began because we are both redheads and had both experienced teasing because of our hair. This morning we shared breakfast and a book.



Winter is quickly approaching so recess time is becoming more and more valuable. These students enjoying hanging around together at recess on Wednesday.






Garfield rejoined volunteers decorating Stella Wells Christmas Trees this year, with a Nintendo game themed tree. Students made all the ornaments that coincide with their school theme, "Level Up." Teachers had fun decorating the tree with all the bright, colorful ornaments!

Ms. Vaughn is proud to announce that Brogan has leveled up in Xtra Math! He has passed all four levels. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division!! Way to be a goal getter!!


Garfield's tree for Stella Wells! The ornaments were made by the students!!



Emmalynn has leveled up in Xtra Math!! She has passed subtraction and is now starting multiplication! Ms. Vaughn is so proud!


What's better than soaking up some sunshine and a good book on a beautiful afternoon? Ms. Vaughn's class thinks it's pretty wonderful.








Congratulations Audrey for making it to the 50 point AR club!


Congratulations to this little Viking! He reached his AR goal and received a Happy Meal for his achievement!
Keep up the good work!


We read all about the creator of the balloon floats used in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. Then kiddos got creative and made their own. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃




Congrats to Zoey she has earned
100 AR points.
