Mrs. Knapp's class celebrated St. Patrick's Day in style last week!
Mr. Severin read them "Leprechaun on the Loose" in the morning. When they returned from specials that afternoon, a sneaky leprechaun had made a huge mess of their classroom and escaped their creative leprechaun traps. He did, however, leave the students some Lucky Charms.
