In honor of Constitution Week, the local Walter Burdick chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution donated constitution books for our 8th grade and 11th grade History classes. DAR members, Susann Shanks and Carrie Cross, presented them to Principal Todd Evers.
The rain may have kept us from outside recess, but it sure didn’t stop our Bluestreaks from having fun inside! Whether it was games or just enjoying time with friends, our students made the most of every moment.
Our 5th graders in Mrs. Conzen’s and Ms. Woodard’s classes have been diving deep into Native American history and culture! 🌎✨ Students have been hard at work researching, creating projects, and presenting what they’ve learned to their classmates.
