Miss Leloux's third graders got to extract DNA from strawberries when they visited the Sanford Promise Research Center! They had so much fun being scientists during their experiment! They looked so official in their lab coats! They even got a tour of the big labs where researchers are working on important experiments to try to cure diseases! Maybe one of these students will work there someday! Great learning experience! Thanks to the parents for driving and helping out!
Be sure to come to Pizza Ranch on Feb. 26th to support our school!

The third graders went to Dow Rummel this month again. They made leprechauns to put up on the resident's doors for St. Patrick's Day coming up and then played Candyland and card games. It was lots of fun!
Kids Care happened last Friday for the 4th and 5th graders. They enjoyed helping different businesses in many ways! It's such a good experience for all!

Signing our compliment hearts in Family is always a fun tradition! Each kid gets a heart with their name on it and then kids get to go around and write positive compliments on them! It is such a cool thing to watch as they get back to their own heart and get to see the joy in their eyes as they read the nice things everyone had to say! Spread some joy today to those around you by giving someone a compliment and watch their face light up! Happy Valentine's Day!
February 8th marked the 100th day of school for our All City kiddos! The kindergarteners and first graders dressed up like they were 100 years old and celebrated 100 in many different ways throughout the day! The whole school participated in a scavenger hunt for 100 eagles throughout their classrooms and hallways! We are still searching for 3 missing eagles...eithethe teachers might have hid them too well or they can't remember where they put them!!! 😂😂😂
We celebrated Sports Day as a school in honor of the Super Bowl on February 9th! It was fun!
Feb. 26th is our next Pizza Ranch Fundraiser from 5-8 pm! Come support our school!!
Miss Leloux's third graders had a two week Super Reader Reading Challenge! Students were encouraged to read at least 2 hours at home per week of the challenge. The students were divided into two teams (Chiefs and 49ers). In our competition, the 49ers won! Thanks to all students for working hard! Students voted on team MVPs. Throughout the Super Bowl Week, students learned about the Star Spangled Banner, Roman Numerals, read football stories, did football math/spelling words, had daily team huddles, focused on sportsmanship, learned about the offensive positions, made predictions about the Super Bowl, had a yummy Tailgate Party, and finalized everything with an award ceremony! It was a blast!
