This is a bit of old news but a neat opportunity!
Back in May, 31 fifth-grade students had the chance to "meet" their pen pals from France! After corresponding for the majority of the school year, Mrs. Caldwell's class enjoyed a French Crepe (recipe shared by their French penpals but made by Mrs. Caldwell) and learned some French words during their video chat with their pen pals!
Mrs. Caldwell's classes have corresponded with this same school for about five years but this was the first time the classes ever got to meet "face-to-face!
July Breakfast and Lunch menus have been posted! Breakfast is served from 8-9:15 and lunch from 11:30-12:30, Monday-Thursday! Free for kids 1-18 and $5 for adults!
The new zipline is being installed at the elementary today! PLEASE DO NOT PLAY ON IT YET! We are just as excited about it as you are, but it shouldn't be used until then so the concrete can set appropriately! We will take the caution tape down on FRIDAY so PLEASE stay off until then!!
We want to say a HUGE thank you to ALL of YOU who contributed to our multiple PTO fundraisers so we could purchase this equipment! It will be enjoyed by many for years to come!!
Favorable weather conditions this morning meant today was launch day for Community Education's Rocketry class! One of the sections with the parachute ALMOST made it to the highway from the launch site on field 2 by the high school!

That's a wrap!! Have a great summer!!
Today was our annual PBIS Fun Day! Groups rotated through the 12 stations outside, which included games such as "Take a Hike Tag", "Drip Drip Drop", "Sponge Relay", the Gaga Ball Pit, and more. 5th-graders helped to lead the stations for younger students.
FFA students from the secondary school set up a petting zoo for elementary students today. Students really enjoyed seeing and petting the animals today and learning a little about farm life.
It was the perfect day for the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade track and field meet!!
Thank you, Katie Fahey, with Federated Insurance, for a successful Junior Achievement experience!

Western Governors University was holding its "Fund my Classroom" initiative again across four states. This was the first time teachers in Minnesota could submit their ideas for consideration. Jenna completed an application stating where the funds would be used and how it would impact students and was awarded a $1,020 grant this past Friday. Funds for her project will go towards 93 new books for our school that go along with our new reading curriculum. Books will help students to further their interests in topics of study or bring more of the new knowledge to life.
