K-2 campers had a great day finishing our Reading week. We made lanterns to go camping, went fishing for sight words, and read some great camping stories and compared them to our own camping stories. Hope you come and join the fun with us next week during Math and crafts.
Shout out to Mr Vinyard for putting us through a HIIT workout today @ Shawnee Fitness! We will definitely feel it tomorrow 💪! Progress never felt so good!!!
3-5th grade celebrated their Week 1 “Summer Adventure” by making ice cream in a bag! This STEM activity incorporated chemistry, mixtures, measurement and time. We also had some great discussions on “why it’s hard to be a kid” and about inclusion. Take a second today to ask what they enjoyed most this week. See you all on Monday for our “camping” themed week 2!
K-2 campers are finishing up their first week of camping. We have had so much fun with Reading this week. Reading camping stories, flashlight reading, games, and activities. We have also made campfires, lighting bug catchers, bird feeders, and lanterns. Can't wait for next week, Math and crafts 😃😍. Come and join the fun 😊

Today, Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Ruccia’s 3-5th grade summer school attendees learned calm breathing/stretching and how to start the day with a clear mind, designed their own summer camp, made seed bombs for the bees, and engineered a catapult to launch the seeds. The seed bombs were drying, so we had fun launching mini-marshmallows instead.

The office will be closed this Thursday afternoon for a retirement event . We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes but Jostens will be reprinting diplomas for Eighth Grade and Seniors. There were some issues with what they sent us: the Eighth Grade diplomas were not the correct size for the diploma cases and Senior diplomas were not printed on the correct type of paper. When the new diplomas are available we will let parents know.
