A peek at our week in second grade!
we had a fun- filled week of learning and creativity!! we learned all about seeds and how they travel, made pumpkin sun catchers, and starting painting gourds to turn them into fun, silly little monsters!
we love mixing hands-on learning with a little fall fun! we can't wait to see our gourd monsters come to life!

Elementary Families: While trying to decide our FCCLA project, we looked for areas within our school where we could help aid parents and students. We noticed a potential scheduling challenge on early dismissal Fridays. We decided to provide a care option for parents who struggle with the scheduling adjustment. As part of the project, we need to gather data and so we have created this survey and we would love to have you complete the survey so that we can deem interest in the possible childcare opportunity. Please complete by Thursday, October 15. Thanks Noah Fink & Mickayla Kavanagh.
Please click on the link to complete the survey. Thank you.
