Bring your clippers, gloves, shovels, and buckets and help us keep our campus beautiful for the year to come!
We'll begin at 8:00 am and go until about 12:00 pm on Saturday July 27. We'll have water and donuts for all of our helpers! We recommend wearing old clothes that you don't mind getting dirty because we'll have quite a few different jobs to do. Thank you for all of your support, and we appreciate anyone who can come and join us for a fun day of gardening and cleaning!
Go Bears!

Mrs. Wilson has challenged her 4-5 grade summer math camp students to an iReady competition to go along with their Math is an Art activities. In just 11 days, her students have passed 21 reading lessons and 17 math lessons with an 80% or higher. They have earned a pizza party and are working on an ice cream sundae party! Way to go kiddos!

This week, Mrs. Watts and Mrs. Misner have kept the learning going strong with their classes. They exploded a watermelon and the students predicted the amount of force that was going to be needed for it to happen.
Then, they did a water bottle flip challenge. Students had to fill their bottles using fractions and discussed which amount of water was better for the bottle flip by looking at the data that was collected. ❤️🐻
