We have a new check-in kiosk located in the front lobby. Please make sure to always have your driver's license with you when you come. This kiosk should be used anytime you enter the building.

First grade joined with fifth grade to make slime on Halloween!
Each fifth grader helped their first grade buddy to measure out the ingredients to make slime. After making slime, each student had to problem solve and figure out how to blow a bubble with their slime. Fifth and first grade had a blast!
The 4-H Club’s rain barrel and compost bin arrived today!
Fifth grade students had a great time reviewing area and perimeter with an interactive lesson using Cheez-Its and Pear Deck. Students created figures using crackers and then sketched the figure on their Chromebook. Finally, students found the area and perimeter for the figures they created.
There will be NO Good News Club this Thursday, October 31.
