Wand Making in 3rd Grade

A third grade class practiced reading and following written directions to create a wand for a magical way to help students track words as they followed along to the first book in the Harry Potter series. It was both an educational and creative way to encourage students to read!

Meramec Caverns 4th grade field trip

Our 4th grade students went on a field trip to the Meramec Caverns. They went on a tour of the caverns and learned about bats. Our students always enjoy being able to leave the classroom and doing something with their teacher and classmates outside of the classroom.

Conductivity in 5th grade

Students in 5th grade have begun a science unit exploring states of matter. These students are having fun testing the conductivity of various items as they learn about the properties of matter. Hands on science is always a fan favorite!

Bingo Night!

Bingo Night was a huge success. We had 130 pizzas that were handed out to families, the PTO fundraised over $1700 during the night, and a lot of fun was had playing bingo, picking out prizes, and bidding on silent auction items. Huge shoutout to all the staff members and PTO members for helping make this night run smoothly for our families.
