We have more from last week's Spirit Week!







Mrs. Simmons' class completed an iceberg float STEM challenge! The students worked in teams to try to build an “iceberg” to hold the most “presents!” The best raft was able to hold 388 “presents!”







Mrs. Brenenstuhl's class created light displays to review circuits and show reflection, transparency, translucency, and opaqueness. Students had to use Christmas lights and batteries to create a working circuit.

Check out our students and teachers this week for our Spirit Week! Happy for participating and have a wonderful WINTER BREAK! We will see you back on Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024!
