Last week, our middle school students had the option to sample Honeyfire Kitchen Chicken during lunch. Whitson's brought a fun, festive Pop-up Shop to the cafeteria so students could try a trending food theme. Whitson’s’ Simply Rooted® food philosophy, is focused on using ingredients that are locally sourced, all‐natural, organic or non‐GMO and minimally processed whenever possible. Students commented that the Honeyfire Kitchen Chicken sandwich was really good and a little spicy.








Barbie was bungee jumping this week as middle school students were learning about kinetic and potential energy. The goal was to make sure not to drown Barbie as she was jumping.








Mrs. Schneider's class learned all about moon phases. We practiced with shaving cream, and then played with our food to practice even more! Yum!
Ms. Sturino's 4th grade class worked toward earning pajamas with stuffed animals and a movie. They earned it by showing spooktacular behavior!

K4 students celebrated Halloween on Oct 28th, including a visit from the school holiday giraffe.
