Husky Sparklers made their debut at last night's wrestling quad! 🐾 Building confidence, teamwork, and school spirit, one cheer at a time!
4th graders had a blast in science; learning about the different plate boundaries! Students used graham crackers and coolwhip to show the three types. They of course got to eat them when finished... yum!

Throwback to warmer days: one of the things sixth graders do in Explore is use microscopes. We were grateful for some warmish January weather to collect some pond water. We found snails, water bugs, and a few little friends out and about in the pond. We also looked at aquarium plants and saw plant cells. A favorite part of microscopes is capturing images to share with our friends, family, and community.

Once upon a time when the weather was warm (January 13) the eighth grade hit the ground running in forces and motion. Students took turns running a 40-yd dash. We didn't make the NFL, but Elijah ran it in 4.95 seconds.
Mrs. Hartog's class conducted classmate interviews to learn more about each other. We then presented something new we learned about our partners!
