The 4th graders had a busy day today! First we got the opportunity to visit the Parkersburg Airport today to learn about crop dusting. Afterwards we headed to McDonalds for lunch, and then we enjoyed the show Mr. C: The World in Motion at Gallagher Bluedorn.

The Kindergarten classes and their friends had a blast during Homecoming week’s Rhyming Day! Can you guess the rhyming word pairs some of them came up with?

🌟 Cheerleader of the Week 🌟 I’m so excited to spotlight our newest teammate, Synnøve, who came all the way from Norway to join us this year! 🇳🇴 She chose cheer as her sport, jumped right in, and has been absolutely rocking it. Her energy and positive spirit make such a difference on our team, and I couldn’t be prouder of the way she’s embraced this new adventure. Her laughter is wildly contagious and we just love having her around! We are so lucky to have her—keep shining! 💜📣 #cheerleaderoftheweek🎀 #cougarpride #RollCougs

K-2 Art is ready to start this year off "write"! 2nd grade highlighters, 1st grade pencils, and Kindergarten crayons.
