Welcome November!
I cannot believe how quickly time is flying by! Greetings from Cat Country! I hope everyone is enjoying these last final days before Daylight Savings Time ends (clocks are set back one hour this Sunday, November 6th). We have been busy at Cushing Elementary! Our Kindergarten and First Graders enjoyed their “Halloween Parade” at Cushing School on Monday morning - it was a true treat for us all!
