Thank you!

Thank you

Thank you to our car duty people who assist every day to get your children in the building whether it is raining or below freezing mornings. Thank you to parents who have their children ready to pop out of the car along the entire car rider line. The line runs from the two A-frame signs. Hoping for warmer temperatures soon.

Family Stem Challenge flier

February Family STEM Challenge

This month, you are reading Mae Among the Stars! To bring the story to life, you will design your own Astronaut Training Course at home—think Ninja Warrior, space edition.
Use safe household items to create an obstacle course that tests balance, strength, coordination, or problem-solving. Draw a map or plan of your course and bring it to school to share. For extra fun, try running your course with friends or family members at home.
Bring in your course plan and you’ll earn a small piece of candy to celebrate your creativity and hard work. We can’t wait to see you train like a future astronaut!
