The third grade class became structural engineers, with the goal being to make an igloo! Teamwork, communication, and creative thinking were put to the test. Fun was had, and ideas are certainly brewing for their next creation. Our indoor igloo eventually 'melted away' after the photo-op!




Celebrating excellence! 🏆 These hardworking students have shown incredible dedication with perfect attendance and outstanding achievements on the honor roll. We’re so proud of their commitment to learning and success! 🎉👏 #StudentSuccess #PerfectAttendance #HonorRoll”
