Mrs. Genandt 's 4th grade reading group has been working hard the past month on a research project. Each student chose a national park to research and create a keynote presentation. It all ended with the students giving their presentations to the entire 4th grade class! They did a fantastic job!

Ms. Genandt's first grade class loved having one of our senior fall athletes visit to read a story! They had a blast spending recess with him — especially trying to beat him in a race!

The eighth graders applied real life scenarios to their classroom novel, "The Outsiders". They put Johnny Cade on trial for a true case of Greasers vs Soc and what the legal definition of self defense entails. What do you think the outcome was? Stay gold✨

Good luck to our football team heading to LeRoy Saturday for a 2 pm kickoff. Due to their hard work in the offseason volunteering to run 50/50's for basketball games, the football team was able to purchase a charter bus for the long trip. All from working 5050's so thank you to all who help support by purchasing 50/50 tickets at games for special things like this for our varies activities/groups. Go get win #5 and as always, Go Birds!

🚒🔥 Our 5th graders suited up for a day of fire safety fun! They learned how to stop, drop, and roll, sprayed a real fire hose, explored a fire truck, discovered the tools used in emergencies, tested their skills on agility courses, and even tried on firefighter gear! 👩🚒👨🚒 A huge thank-you to our local heroes for an unforgettable hands-on experience! ❤️
