MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! 🚀🌕 Our 5th graders took a giant leap at the Challenger Learning Center! Their mission: Build and successfully land a rover on the lunar surface to explore a mysterious lava tube. It wasn’t easy, but through teamwork, critical thinking, and some serious STEM skills, our student-scientists completed the mission with flying colors! 🛰️💻 A massive THANK YOU to Peoples State Bank of Colfax for funding this incredible experience. We are so grateful for your investment in our students' futures and for making this "out of this world" day possible!

Making Spirits Bright (and Volumes Right!) 📏✨ There was no "hibernating" in math class this week! Our 5th graders stayed busy right up until the break, perfecting their Volume Zoo animals. Students had to calculate the total volume of their creatures, proving that they’ve mastered some big concepts this semester. Now, these animals (and their creators!) are ready for a well-deserved winter nap. 🦁🐼🐵🐘🦜🦥🦒🦘💤

The Student Council sent us into Winter Break with some hilarious Christmas skits! 🎄 They performed "Santapunzel," "The Gingerbread Dude," and "Snow White and the 6 1/2 Reindeer." Great job to all of our student performers!

Making Gingerbread houses is a 1st grade tradition that students look forward to for weeks!! It did not disappoint and students had a blast!

Pretty sure this group is on the nice list!

Winter break is right around the corner--and we are still celebrating students who are going above and beyond school expectations! They are finishing the semester strong!

✨ A Look Back at World Kindness Day! ✨ High school students spent time in our elementary classrooms reading kindness-themed books and spreading positivity. Our younger students loved every minute, and our high schoolers shined as role models! 💛📚

During their October meeting, our elementary student council prepared kindness and affirmation cards. Throughout November, they shared these cards with students and staff, brightening everyone’s day! 🌟✉️
