It has been a busy couple weeks for the fifth grade! Last week we wrapped up testing and attended the Kimball Water Festival where we experimented with filtering water from the River much like our water treatment plant does for Aurora county. We also explored PH testing mystery liquids, wetland habitats, and many other great exhibits. Today we traveled to Harrisburg to get some jump time and great food at Air Madness! What an awesome group of kids- many compliments on their manners, curiosity, and ability to self regulate for both visits!!
fourth grade made some summer stained glass windows with chalk! we loved being outside and enjoying these gorgeous days ♥️
the fourth grade earned some extra time outside today. they played kickball and enjoyed a beautiful day!!
The preschoolers took a field trip to the fire station Friday afternoon! Highlights of the trip included trying on the helmets, checking out the ambulance and firetrucks, spraying the hose and going for a ride in the firetruck! They especially loved the lights and sirens! Thank you Plankinton Fire Department!!!

Thank an Educator! It is Staff Appreciation Week!
Our staff are committed to providing a positive, engaging and supportive learning environment each and every day in which our students learn and grow.

Please take a moment out of your week to thank an individual who works in your school community.
The 7th grade STEM class worked on creating their own Rube Goldberg machine from scratch. Mrs. Victor was the lucky choice to get "slimed" for the project. Nice work Mr. Johnson and kids! (Video in comments)
