February Students of the Month!

Congratulations to those students who were selected as Students of the Month for the month of February!

“Egg”cellent Learning!

4-H educator Caity Romshak came for the second lesson in the Chick Quest series. The students observed eggs that were soaked in vinegar or sugar water. The students made a Venn Diagram to organize their observations. Great job!

4th grade students with the help of Caity Romshak, 4-H educator, wrapped up the third lesson of Chick Quest. This week the students were engineers. Their goal was to build a "nest" using a certain amount of materials. We had two groups that were able to "save their egg." However, all students had a great learning experience. Stay tuned for the chicks!

Literacy Night!

We had the most fun at Literacy Night! Thank you to our teachers, staff, administration, and any outside organizations or agencies who made this night amazing!
