There was excitement in the air today when 4K discovered four different kinds of mushrooms outside! First, they poked them with sticks (of course). Next, Mrs. Grimm used gloves to collect them and put them in specimen jars. Then, Miss Shelby helped find a reference book from the library about Fungi of the Northwoods. Last, they examined them with magnifying glasses. Way to "WORK", 4K!






Reminder tomorrow, Monday, September 15th is Picture Day!

Please see the following and know that we are monitoring the weather closely for tonight’s contest.
In the event that a flag or varsity football game is cancelled, players should be picked up in the back of the parking lot off Grove Street nearest to the field. Please be patient if this situation presents itself so we can safely get all student athletes to the right places.

Kinders explore the world around them at the beginning of the year by learning all about apples! We got to pick the apples from our school trees and today we got to make crockpot applesauce in class! It smells amazing!! We've also been learning about what we can do with the "leftovers" (composting and animals that help eat the skin/core). Hands-on learning at its best!



Greetings from part of our WarCats Football team! These students were welcoming other students arriving at school today with high fives and smiles! Way to go!!

Winter students are learning to use the Oxy/Acetylene cutting torch.

Science Club was a huge success this morning! We had 15 students. We learned about the animals, looked at some critter skeletons, had some games available and fed Barbour, the ball python. It was so great to see the students arriving, excited for what we had planned. I cannot wait for next week!









Reminder to get your "WORK" Club Registration forms in.

Dr. Ray and I always try to collaborate when we can with our classes, and today we did just that - going to the nature center with our US History and Anatomy and Physiology classes to learn about Harriet Tubman's use of animal and plant knowledge to help slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad, along with anatomical differences between certain animals. It's always nice to get kids out of the building and see different things, and the Nature Center is a great opportunity right around the corner!
