In honor of Groundhog Day, kindergarten through 2nd grade have been learning about shadows. Second grade kicked it up a notch learning about the earth's rotation and orbit and how that, too, creates a shadow on the earth.

Cheerleader of the Week 📣 This week we’re celebrating Jenika! Her determination and willingness to try new things have stood out, and she is always open to feedback so she can keep improving. That mindset is what helps great athletes become even better teammates. Always open to helping others is what makes great leaders! We’re so proud to have her on the team and can’t wait to see her shine even more next year in her senior year of cheer. Keep pushing yourself, Jenika. Your future is going to be a great one! 💙📣 #CheerleaderOfTheWeek #SeniorSeasonAhead #HardWorkShows #TeamSpirit

5th and 7th grade SAIL did their make-up field trip that was cut short due to weather last time. Because 5th grade made their own escape rooms in class, it was time to try the real thing! Seventh grade escaped in The Lost City, but unfortunately, 5th grade did not in Under Pressure. However, they were on the last problem. Logic and communication were key in the process!
