Portal Raises 15,721 Diapers!

Portal students collected diapers from December 1-17. The original goal was to collect 7,500 diapers for the Lydia House in Omaha. The students at Portal more than doubled their goal by collecting 15,721 diapers! The Star Council members packed up cars and drove with parents to drop off all the diapers at Nobbies. Way to go Portal!

Portal's principal, Mr. Bohn, agreed to dress up as a baby if the students met their goal of 7,500 diapers. They did, and Mr. Bohn spent the day dressed like a baby!

Ooblek is sticky, wet and fun.
To make it you need cornstarch and water.

Mr.Murray's Last Day!

On Friday December 3rd 2010, Mr.Murray the 6th grade student teacher came to Portal Elementary on his last day expecting a normal day. But, at 2:30 all 6th graders went to the gym for a surpirse party for him. He was so happy to see the 6th graders would miss him so much! Mr.Murray is a single father with a 2 year old son named Elijah. He made up raps about many things such as posters and fractions. 6th grade will miss him very, very much!!!
