Grateful Are We!

 

New adventures, new memories...
oh Autumn graced us with all this & more!

Thankfully these youth helped make that happen.  
Left to right, meet the September "Students of the Month:"
Hayden Winchell, Rori Strange,
 Jacob Meeks, Aaron Decker,
William Strange, and Easton Baker

They're kids that show up on schedule, ask questions,
share with others, give their best efforts & are humble too.
We learn from their example, each and every day.

Welcome!

Meet Ranger, the newest member of 3rd grade.

As a gecko, he's a nocturnal lad but doesn't

join Mr. Zuber's class in the lunchroom for meals.  
 His favorites, mealworms or crickets, aren't on our menu!

Undaunted

 

"Mr. Wood," they asked,  "May we sweep up

in the lunchroom, since we're both finished eating?"

"We like to help," they said.

This duo had a plan!

Just look at the energy these two

3rd grade volunteers brought into this space.

"An Apple a Day"

 Autumn's here & you're invited to peek into an
adventure alongside Mrs. Wells' Kindergarteners.  

Learning all about different varieties of apples.....

Taking a vote on a treat they love the most......

These boys and girls gave-a-go at
"taste testing" and made homemade applesauce!

That favorite treat they voted for?

The winner was Apple Pie!

Lots of counting and then lots of graphing...

Such winning ways because this class is

filled with kind, curious, and willing learners! 

Thanks for joining us.

The Twins of Leadership & Learning

At our school, in every grade level,
it's an important duty to give back to others.

That's what happened when Mrs. Mikeworth's 5th
graders helped Mrs. Wells' 1st graders to count tickets.
Having a correct tally helps when kids choose to "spend"
 leadership tickets or "save" evidence for future shopping.  

Perhaps being a good example
can help change someone's outlook,
 and help you recognize that good deeds really matter.

Plant the Moon

Mrs. Wallace's 3rd graders are participating in a NASA Challenge.

The quest is to see if different groups can grow vegetables in lunar simulant & soil.

Meet our leaders in the link (above) to hear details about their project and  goals.

Pupils started the experiments on September 29th.  

They chose to plant peas. 

They planted two seeds in each container.

Containers are filled with 50% soil & 50% lunar simulant.

Nutrients were added to all but one container, the control.

Nutrients included egg shells, coffee grounds, water from a fish tank, or leaves.

Some of the pea plants sprouted this week!

What's Not to Love?

Two weeks ago it started with an invitation for
L.H.S. Indians' Football Coach, Mr. Reider.  

*Thank you Mrs. Pentell.

What a grand surprise, 1st thing on that Friday morning!

Pupils got "High Fives" and welcoming smiles.

Leadership starts with good examples.

But it didn't "stop" with the football team....

The L.H.S. cheerleaders surprised us the following week!

Unexpected surprises are the best.

Oh, look at those smiles.

These are moments our youngsters shall never forget!
