3rd and 4th grade families - Please mark your calendars now for ISASP testing!

The elementary will participate in Red Ribbon Week next week, 10/27-10/31. Red Ribbon Week is a nationwide prevention campaign focused on living a healthy lifestyle and avoiding things, like alcohol, tobacco, and other illicit drugs, that can cause harm to your body, and interfere with your lifelong goals and dreams.
Students will learn about healthy choices, peer pressure, and the importance of setting goals.
Part of our Red Ribbon Week activities will be daily dress days.
Here's to Red Ribbon Week 2025!

Our 4th graders are busy building words and learning how spelling rules make reading and writing click! ✏️📚 It’s great to see their confidence grow each day!

Our 4th graders are exploring new vocabulary through shades of meaning—learning how words can have similar meanings but different strengths or feelings! 🎨💬 They’re becoming word experts who know just the right word to use in their writing and conversations! ✏️📚


Elementary Families - please send coats to school for recess!

Last spring, Mr. Monteith & Ms. Schwickerath received a grant for new STEM kits entitled "Spintronics: Engineer and Design Mechanical Circuits". Recently, the fourth graders started working with the Spintronic kits to help enhance their Energy Unit. Students solve the challenges with their partner as they progress through the program. It is fascinating to watch the students explore and learn more about energy with these kits. Students seem really excited to try this new opportunity.



Our preschool classes have been learning about Fire Safety. A big thank you to our New Hampton Firefighters for visiting our classroom to talk about fire safety and show the students all the gear they wear to keep themselves safe. After they visited, our students pretended to be firefighters too!







Tristan Vanatta SSG (Staff Sergeant) for the US Army National Guard visited Mrs. Schmitt's FCS classes to make MRE (Meals Ready to Eat). There was a lot of science that went into the heating bags that heated the meals. It was an interesting and enjoyable guest speaker. A HUGE THANK YOU TO SSG Kaleb Michel and SSG Vanatta.
