Our kindergarten students in Mrs. Setzer’s class have been busy learning and studying Arctic animals. Today, they explored how these animals survive the cold by learning about the importance of blubber.
Students put both hands into a bowl of ice water. One hand was unprotected, while the other was placed inside a bag of “blubber.” They were amazed at how much warmer the protected hand felt!
What a fun and memorable way to learn how animals adapt to their environment. We love seeing our youngest Bluestreaks learning through hands-on science! 💙
The snow and freezing temperatures can’t stop our love for learning! Today, we want to give a HUGE shout-out to our heroes of the day, our AMAZING bus drivers! Thank you for safely getting our students to school despite the challenging conditions.
We also want to thank Mr. Waggoner, who went above and beyond by driving the school van around town this morning to pick up students who were walking to school. Acts like this truly show what it means to put kids first.
Stay warm and keep learning Bluestreaks! 💙
It's game night! Catch the 8th grade team in action tonight at 6:00 pm in the JH gym.
The Maintenance Department has been busy clearing parking lots & sidewalks to help everyone stay safe as they enter the school this morning. Thank you!
