We are thrilled to be installing cameras around the inside and outside of the school. We continue to keep student and staff safety as our number one priority. 🎥💚





Stay tuned for pictures of our new roof coming soon! Please share the pictures with our little Wildcats. We love to share the exciting things happening at our school. Many students know we had to close the stairwell near the third grade classes when it rained hard. We look forward to our new roof fixing the leaks! 🏫💪🏽💚

Third grade welcomed Dr. Ted Neal from the University of Iowa via Google Meets today to learn about rocks and even crack geodes in real time! Students had so many questions and were so engaged!!








The annual 5th grade 🥚⬇️ was a hit! The object is for students to work in pairs to “spend” as little as possible on materials to protect their egg from the second story drop. The pair from each class whose egg survived the fall and “spent” the least amount of money on protective materials won.
Thank you to our PTO for the supplies and prizes! 💚











Our 4th grade students enjoyed their community trip to the bowling alley. 🎳
