Our 2nd grade students had the opportunity to build their own simple machines this past week. It is wonderful to see how they apply the concepts learned with their own personal creativity.  Here Aiden Cox shows off his Monster Truck Pulley system.

Jude Heiner, one of our 5th grade students is celebrating his B’earth day today. Each year he comes up with a new idea on how to help our planet.  This year, he came up with treats for his class that include some honey, a globe that has flower seeds and some information about bees and how important they are for our planet and our food supply.  Thank you Jude for taking such an active interest in our planet and providing your classmates with great information and a small way to make a big difference.

It is always an exciting assembly when we get to recognize our Builders each month.  Today we recognized our March Builders and so many proud parents came in to celebrate and of course get some pictures of their students. Congratulations to all of our award winners!

A HUGE Shout-out to all the families that donated money for our classroom libraries.  We raised over $7,000 and have orders for more than 200 books being delivered to our school.  These donations will help us increase the amount of books and choices for our students!  A special shout out to Ms. Bergman’s AMAZING class that raised the most money of any classroom.

It is always an exciting assembly when we celebrate our “Builders of the Year” .  Although we have many builders throughout our school and parent community, these shining stars represent “exemplars” of Builder behavior.  Recognizing all of their efforts to make our school and community a better place is an important part of our schools.  Congratulations and thank you to all of our Builders!
