First grade celebrated N-Nature Day by releasing their 5 painted lady butterflies: Stitch, Angel, Sonic, Anna & Luna






During today's SIP day activities kindergarten and 4th grade students worked together to make rockets that could fly. The only supplies that were given were a strip of paper, a paper rocket, a straw and tape. After they made their rockets, they went into the hallway to see whose rocket went the farthest. Kindergarten and fourth grade students have been working together all year. Great friendships have been created!






We are so proud of our 4th and 5th grade students from Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Squires, and Mr. Shore's class. They have been learning the recorders in music class. Here is their school performance of Mary Had a Little Lamb, Hot Cross Buns, and Au Clair De La Lune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuNLUE2fnBw&authuser=0
