The fifth graders are working hard on their communication skills. In their guidance class they have started a project of surviving an island until they are rescued! Here are the students figuring out what jobs each of them would have on their first day on the island! In order to survive the island they have to work together and listen to one another!




Congrats to our 3rd through 5th grade Bobcats of the week! They are Alexa Gran, Vera Meseck, Alyce Skarin, and Anna Burroughs! Great job kids!

We have a dozen 2lb. containers of smoked, sliced bbq pork on sale for $15. Call the school to place your order. Proceeds go to our Athletic department. Thank you.

I want to thank all the individuals who helped run another successful Booster club tournament! I especially want to thank all of the lunch lady’s, coaches, teachers, parents, and students who helped us in the concession stand. It is so great to see everyone take pride in their school and community. This is such a wonderful fundraiser that makes our school better. It is most definitely a great day to be a bobcat!


Third grade is loving the Vikings unit! Today we traveled from Greenland to Iceland!

Hello! I just wanted to send a reminder regarding the Booster club tournament this weekend. A note was sent home asking for parents of athletes to supply bars or cookies to sell at the tournament. Boys parents supply bars for the girls weekend and vice versa. That means, the boys are making the treats for this weekend. You can bring them to school tomorrow or the concession stand will be open by 4. This is a huge fundraiser for our youth and middle school athletics. All the money goes back to the athletic needs for the students-refs, jerseys, and equipment. We are also hoping parents sign up to work the concession stand. There are many shifts available Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so reach out if you are able to help. Reach out if you have any questions. Thank you! Go Bobcats!

Third grade started our Viking Quest today that is within our Reading unit! I think the kids (and adults) had a good time! Before beginning our quest, we made Viking hats to wear and oars to row our "longship." The kids also made a longship by only using their bodies and I was pretty impressed! Day 1/5 we "traveled" from Scandinavia to Vinland and learned that Leif Erikson was the first European to discover North America!
