Our Stick Together poster is complete...it is a beautiful sunflower reminding us that Spring is near. About 50 students were able to help over the past few weeks. Here is the group that put on the final touches. We will look forward to our next poster!


We were delighted to have Laurie Windows come to share her knowledge and experience with the Iditarod. She did a wonderful job presenting and the first graders were a great audience. She brought in a sled, mushing gear, pictures, and... 2 mushing DOGS! We had a great time!





Set those clocks. We dismiss at 11:00 on March 16th. There will be no lunch served.

"Stick Together" is off to a great start. This is a choice students can make in the mornings to help the school community create our first sticker poster. Stay tuned for what the finished picture is!
