1st Graders had a Blast celebrating 100 days of discovery by writing down 100 things we had learned so far in 1st grade and some out-of-this-world art!


It has been a fun two days in the elementary and high school gymnasiums. Humanities Montana speaker, Mark Matthews, has been at the school teaching the K-12 students dances and the stories behind them.





Bree and Mrs. Richmond want to say, "Happy 100 Days!" We are "moooovin" through the school year!
