Thank you to everyone who made our strawberry fundraiser a huge success. We sold 225 flats of strawberries and made $2,574.00; which we will save to put towards two new ovens for our classroom. I plan on doing this again next year as the strawberries were delicious. I made strawberry jam and fresh strawberry pies and shared them at school.


The 4th graders did a fantastic job at the science fair today! A special shoutout to our five finalists: Grayson, Anthony, Kipp, Dempsey, and Ryan (who also earned second place overall). We also had an honorable mention winner, Willow. Great work to all 16 of the 4th graders who attended
