This week, the students in JK-4th grade had special visits from the Elk Point Police Department and the Union County Sheriff’s Department as part of Red Ribbon Week!
The officers spoke with classes about making safe, healthy, and drug-free choices. We’re grateful for their partnership and the positive role models they provide for our students.

Students in Mrs. Norris's Physical Science class completed a simulation of Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment to calculate the diameter of the nucleus of an atom. Instead of using Gold foil, Radium and Helium, students used tape, textbooks and marbles. Thanks to Mrs. Peirce for letting us use her marbles!!

Have you ever been in a pickle? Or, told to hold your horses? Students in 5A learned what those idioms meant this week along with other types of Figurative Language. On Friday, the students dressed like an idiom of choice and had to guess what each person was. Fun was had by all!

On Friday kindergarten went on a nature walk to explore the world around us! The kids collected leaves, seeds, flowers, and other natural treasures along the way. We used our finds to create beautiful nature collages. The students loved observing the different colors, shapes, and textures in nature — it was a wonderful hands-on learning experience!
