After an exciting day-long field trip to the woods, the 4th and 5th graders who attended Star last night were back at it again today with just as much energy! 💪🌲 We explored the Project Northwoods Arches Research Area (formerly the Winter Archery Club) and, despite the cooler temps, we spotted FOUR different salamander species from THREE distinct genera—including the state-listed 4-toed salamander! 🦎 We also caught sight of a gartersnake (shoutout to Emilia for spotting it!) 🐍 The kiddos had an amazing day out in nature!"

🌟 A Heartfelt Thank You! 🌟 We want to extend a huge thank you to the Hayward Piecemakers Quilting Guild for their incredible generosity! 🎉 They recently donated beautiful quilts and books to our 4K students, and the joy on their faces was priceless. Each guild member rose to the challenge of creating a quilt inspired by a randomly selected children’s book, and the results were simply stunning! Each quilt perfectly captured the essence of its corresponding story, making it even more special. 📚❤️ Our students were thrilled to receive these treasures, and we know they will enjoy them for years to come. Thank you, Hayward Piecemakers, for your creativity, dedication, and kindness! You truly made a difference in our young learners' lives! 💖✨
