5th graders completed two projects to finish SEL lessons this year. They reflected on their year and are looking forward to Jr. High!



7th graders in Mrs. Hartz's classes have been practicing scale factor by creating a scale drawing of a cafe. They chose their own layout with everything drawn to scale. Then they displayed their creative projects to their classmates!









After the paint has dried, fourth grade artists are now weaving over the concentric circles. They are using vocabulary terms Unity and Contrast to describe their choices of yarn colors. With perseverance, they are learning how to tie knots (and untie knots), and to weave their weft through the warp. Great work 4th grade!


Our 8th graders had a last day of fun filled activities that was planned by our staff. They went bowling or to Westwood in the morning, came back for the incentive treat of Culvers ice cream, and then practiced for their promotion.






We would like to wish the best of luck to the Class of 2027! We are proud of all of your hard work this far in your journey! Good luck to them in their future endeavors!
Thank you to Mrs. Schoff for creating the slideshow for the students as well.
