Going Green Club students had fun learning how to make their own pickles at a recent meeting. Each student got to take home a jar to share with their family.
Please be advised that due to today's impending inclement weather, there will be no after-school activities or late buses. After-care provided by the YMCA will still operate.

March Mammal Madness has arrived in 6th grade! This is a popular fictitious tournament where organisms “battle” it out until there is one champion, hosted by the University of Arizona. Students researched the organisms in this year’s tournament and completed their bracket based on the organisms’ adaptations for survival, while also factoring in the all-important home-habitat advantage. Who will win the trophy this year?
Ms. Motley's 6th Grade Social Studies students just finished learning about the Greek gods and goddesses. Students researched a god of their choice and created a shield to present to the class.
