As if it wasn't a busy enough week, 5th grade visited the middle school while 6th was on a field trip so they could learn about their big transition. Huge shout out to Mrs. Van Cleve, Mrs. Jessen, RJ, & the middle school teachers and staff who made us all feel so welcome!
Thursday the 4th grade class went on their field trip to Living History Farms. They toured the town & visited the schoolhouse, broomshop, general store, vet clinic, the bank, and more. Then, they went to a nearby park and had lunch and played on the playground. They had a blast!
April AR incentive was to enjoy some delicious Rootbeer floats!
A few more Earth day clean up pics because there were just too many good ones!
With a time of 11.44, Cash won the 100 meter dash and automatically qualified for state!
Yesterday (5/8) students K-5 did Earth Day activities. K-1 cleaned up our playground areas, 2-3 went to Legion park to clean up, and 4-5 cleaned up at Littlefield. Hard work never looked so good!
