Alexa, Lillya, and Addy of Miss Campbell's 5th grade visit Makerspace. Their Inquiry: What makes a game fun?
I know what makes Makerspace fun, and that's Mr. Lehman!


5th-graders, Adalynn and Kiley, from Miss Campbell's classroom visit Makerspace to determine Earth's distance from the Sun (93.79 Million miles) ☀️ look at these STEM ladies go!


Students in Ms. Prince & Ms. Showecker’s 5th grade class created a mystery collaborative poster this week.
Once each student colored their piece of the poster it was assembled to create a “We Can Do It!” mural. Then students thought about goal setting and what they want to achieve in the first quarter of a new school year. They placed their goals on post-it notes and placed them on our goal setting mural.
We can’t wait to see these goals accomplished 🙌

See, we take safety so seriously that our Superintendent Dr. Hartmann and GIS Principal Mrs. Heimann dressed up as traffic cones to help our morning drop-offs 🧡


As a reminder, our drop-off/pickup procedures have changed! A few notes regarding this: 🔁 If you are picking up/dropping off in the loop, you must be against the curb. 🚘 If you are parked, you must walk your student to and from the sidewalk. We will not allow students cross the parking lot by themselves. 🚸 we take safety very serious, and we thank you for following these procedures!


We are ready for you, Tigers! 🐅
