Recyclables Needed for Engineer Expo

We are having our Engineer Expo on Friday, November 20th.  We will be creating a toy for children to use in the pioneer days. We have talked about how modern day technology was not available in those times and how we need to figure out ways of entertainment.  The students will make a toy and figure out ways to improve their toy.  

Please save any recyclables and have your child bring them in on Monday!  We will be creating the toys Monday.  We will continue to improve the toys during the week so keep sending in recyclables.  

1st grade will be presenting from 12:30-1:00 and 1:50-2:20.  We can't wait to show you our masterpieces!

50's Day and the New and Improved Pig's Homes

I cannot believe we have been in school for 50 days!  The kids had so much fun celebrating!!!

They looked so cute!

We also built houses that the wolf couldn't blow down.  They had so much fun!




This is equipt with a security system and a camera to watch for the wolf!

This is a "nocular" space house.  So creative!





It is a jet straw house.  

I am so impressed with all the houses the kids made.  Your kids amaze me!!!  Thank you for sharing them with me.

Field Day Postponed

Christie Families,


After much deliberation we have decided to postpone Field Day until late spring. With the forecast of heavy rain this afternoon, as well as a high ranging between 54-57 degrees during the morning Field Day events; we don’t feel it would be a safe environment for our students. As many of you know, Field Day often includes water games as well as other fun activities that would not be able to take place with tomorrow’s weather. We want to thank you for understanding, and we look forward to having this event later on this year!

Field Day Update


At this time it looks like we have a flash flood watch coming in for tomorrow. If it does rain tomorrow, we will postpone Field Day until close to end of year. We want to be sure the fields are safe for student activity, and sadly, rain-soaked grounds (with cold weather) does not produce a safe environment for our students.

Will keep everyone posted along the way -
