STEM / Science Fair
STEM Night was a huge success! There were 62 projects showcased and 226 students and family members in attendance. K/1st/2nd grade projects ranged from Homemade Lava Lamps to Dry Ice Bubbles. 3rd/4th/5th grade projects ranged from Pulleys to Sugar Science. Click on the links below to see photos from our event.
Thank you to the members of the beginning and advanced orchestras for a great concert. I am proud of the excellent playing and hard work of all the strings students. Thanks to Mr. Hay for playing the sleigh bells, Mrs. Curry for helping our students get on and off the stage and into position, and Mrs. Dozat for playing the piano. Special thanks to Mrs. Strong and Mr. Vanisko for helping our students back stage to be R-E-A-D-Y for the performance. Looking forward to preparing for our Spring Concerts!

Kindness Matters at The Movies
Our entire school participated in a kindness activity by watching the movie "Trolls" and "Wonder". Our K/1st/2nd graders gathered together in the gym to see "Trolls" and our 3rd/4th/5th graders went to Regal Theaters to watch the movie "Wonder". The kindness message in both movies was well received by our students.
