Preschool

Today, January 28, 2026, was the first day of preschool! We are excited to welcome two children to the kindergarten class every Wednesday morning from 9-11am!

It's been a busy start to 2026 here in the 4th grade! From soil samples to lava models to chemical weathering in science, learning all about MT in the 20th century through classroom transformations, novel studies, and hands-on history in social studies, long division and multiplying multi-digit numbers in math, plus 45 newly learned spelling words, attending their first spelling bee, and practice with expanding sentences...these 4th graders are well on their way to covering some serious ground during the second semester of the school year!

K-6 Second Quarter awards. Way to go, kiddos! Keep up the great work.

The 5th grade finished up their chalk pastel Aurora Borealis art projects last Friday. They are always a favorite project that turn out so beautifully!

Over the past two months, the 3rd grade students have been working little by little at the end of the day on this puzzle. Today, January 22, 2026, they finally completed it! This was a wonderful team effort—some students focused on building the border, while others worked hard to create the cat. Some would simply spy a piece that fit just where it belonged! Piece by piece, it all came together into this beautiful finished product. They should be proud of their teamwork, patience, and perseverance!
