We had such a special morning this last Tuesday at our Veterans Day program! Our students did an amazing job honoring the brave men and women who have served our country.
A huge thank-you to Shell for generously donating donuts for our veterans’ breakfast beforehand. Your kindness helped make the morning even more meaningful. ❤️🍩
We’re so grateful for our veterans and for a community that supports them!

In Mrs. Kluever's science class, 4th graders have been posed the question: "Will a mountain last forever?". To test their theories, students shook sugar cubes over a period of trials and recorded results after each trial.

Mr. DeMay’s third grade class has been learning all about the Statue of Liberty in their Reading module. To make the lesson come to life, students had the opportunity to use VR headsets to take a virtual field trip to Liberty Island! They were able to look up at Lady Liberty as if they were really there, exploring her size, detail, and history up close. It was an exciting way to connect their reading to a real-world experience and spark curiosity about one of America’s most iconic landmarks!
