It was a fun day today! We began with BINGO (Thank you, PTO) and ended with a trip to The Zone.
Mrs. Moore hosted a Summer Ultra running challenge (inspired by the Back Yard Ultra). Several of our students accepted the challenge and ran 3.6 miles to start their day.
This was a great way to celebrate being halfway finished with summer school. Only 2 weeks left, and a lot more learning and fun to go!
It was a beautiful day for some outdoor yoga! We owe a HUGE thanks to Mr. Story for coming in and teaching our kids some basic yoga moves and techniques. We loved it! We felt so relaxed and rejuvenated. 🧘♀️
After, kids headed back inside and tried different kinds of teas and coffees, and they spent some time journaling.
Summer school parents/guardians: Today, each middle school student is being sent home with a permission slip for Friday's field trip to The Zone. It is a BRIGHT GREEN piece of paper. All permission slips are due back by 9 a.m. on Friday, June 14th.

We've got some pirates in Mr. Lewis's science class! Students have been studying surface tension and water displacement, and they are testing what they've learned by building pirate ships. The goal was to see who could build a ship that could hold the most "booty" (washers). The winning ship held 44 washers!
What a fun way to study science!
We are so happy we were able to bring Coach Hildebrand out of retirement to teach summer school this year! She is teaching PE and a World Skills class. Students are learning valuable skills they can use in their everyday lives. Today, she taught students about lawnmower safety, how to read an oil dip stick, and oil mixes for small engines. Some of our students shared their lawn mowing experiences, and there were several, "I didnt know that!" moments. Thanks for sharing these life lessons, Coach!
