Students in Miss Wiyrick’s class kicked off a fun and creative project on Friday! After reading the story Rent Party Jazz, students designed their own album covers that captured the main idea of the story. Along the way, they also had the chance to explore records and vintage albums, learning about music and art from another time.
What a great way to blend reading, creativity, and history—these young artists did an amazing job bringing the story to life! 🎨🎵

Fall is the perfect time to get outside and play, and students in Ms. Sholl’s classes took full advantage of the season by learning the exciting game of ultimate frisbee! Ms. Sholl introduced the rules, demonstrated different types of throws, and gave students plenty of time to practice their new skills. It was learning, fun, and fitness all rolled into one great class! 🥏✨






What do you want to be when you grow up?
A question Miss Hartman asked each of her students. They couldn’t take 18 field trips to visit the different professions, but Miss Hartman could send flat kindergarteners into the world to ‘work’ and report back. The class was so excited today when they finally got to see the flat kindergartener’s adventures!
Visit the link below to see everything the flat kindergarteners got to do!

Mrs. Witherspoon's first grade class and Miss Kobelak's 5th grade class teamed up to make a fun Halloween craft! Students worked together to create paper Jack-o-Lanterns and write a short story about their creation. All students showed excellent creativity and teamwork. We had so much fun!
