Mrs. Erickson's STEM Kit theme, Extraordinary People by Michael Hearst, brought history to life with hands-on challenges and creativity!
Students learned about P. T. Barnum by putting together their own circus scenes, explored the accomplishments of Bessie Coleman by building and racing airplanes, and discovered the world of Harry Houdini through a Houdini Escape Challenge. Students worked to “lock” Houdini in a set and then used great minds, patience, teamwork, and determination to figure out how to help him escape.
There were many challenges solved and lots of learning along the way! Great job to all of our creative thinkers and problem solvers!
Hands-on learning in action during our Buoyancy STEM Activity! Mrs. Erickson’s students were challenged to build a boat using only a 15 x 15 cm piece of tinfoil and see if it could hold 50 pennies. Through teamwork, creativity, and lots of trial and error, 2 groups were successful! Great job problem-solving and thinking like engineers! 🚤🪙👏
Ocean Fun was in full swing in Mrs. Berry’s summer school group! Students had a blast walking the plank, building bridges to drive across without falling into the “shark water,” creating beautiful ocean scenes and ocean masks, and designing boats to sail across the ocean. It was a couple of days full of creativity, imagination, and hands-on fun! 🌊🦈⛵🎨

Mrs. Jelinek’s 5th graders enjoyed their last elementary field trip with a fun-filled day at Sertoma Park and Sherlock Park. From time spent outdoors to making memories with classmates, it was a great way to celebrate the end of their elementary years together!
Mrs. Jelinek’s 5th graders had the opportunity to learn all about 6th grade! They asked great questions and learned what to expect next year. It was a wonderful chance for students to feel informed, prepared, and excited for the transition to middle school.
The elementary had a great day at the park on Tuesday! ☀️ They enjoyed spending time outdoors, playing together, and making wonderful memories with classmates. What a fun way to enjoy the day! 😊
A couple of our 5th graders chose to create board games for their final Tuck Everlasting project! 🎲📚 Their creativity and hard work really showed as they designed games inspired by the story. The best part was getting to play the different games together and enjoy all the fun ideas they came up with. Great job, 5th graders! 👏
Play Day looked a little different on Tuesday, but that didn’t stop the fun! With the help of some amazing PTO moms, we moved our games indoors and still had a fantastic day filled with laughter and activities. Of course, PTO also treated everyone to ice cream! 🍦
We were still able to squeeze in the annual kickball game — staff vs. 5th graders. The staff managed to pull off another victory, but the 5th graders gave us a great game and made it so much fun. Thank you, 5th graders, for the memories and friendly competition! 💙💛
Yesterday, on the only nice day of the week, our elementary students enjoyed a fun-filled field trip to Sertoma and Sherlock Park! ☀️ Students spent the day exploring, playing, and making memories with their classmates.
As a special reward, our top readers from 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade were treated to lunch at Blue Moose — what a great way to celebrate their hard work and dedication to reading! 📚🍕 Great job, readers!
Awards ceremony today for grades 1-5 at 10am!
Congrats to our class of 2026!
