Early Dismissal
Recently all third grade students were gifted dictionaries. Thank you to the Middlesex Rotary for helping students build dictionary skills and expand vocabulary!
It's been a little "spooky" in 1st grade lately as students explore the five senses, the nocturnal life of bats, estimation, retelling, and story writing!
Pre-kindergarten students had special visitors as they learn about community helpers. Thank you to our local firefighters, rescue personnel, & deputies that visited today!
We want to thank physicians from our elite medical team of third grade students (Carson, Olivia, Blake, Luka, De'Jah, Caroline, & Skylar) who shared their medical math experiences with board members last night. Mrs. Longest, Mrs. Knighton, and Mrs. Van Buskirk collaborated to design a room transformation that would take students into the medical field while exploring place value and comparing & ordering whole numbers.
All after-school activities this evening, September 22, 2023, are canceled.
